Members of Scholarship Foundation of East Providence remind residents that follow up letters for the recent phone-a-thon are now in the mail.
“We are very grateful for the support of The Carter Fund at the Rhode Island Foundation,” stated Louise Paiva, phone-a-thon chair. The Carter Fund has provided a grant of $50,000 for this year’s phone-a-thon. With their support, the first $50,000 in phone-a-thon donations received will be matched, dollar for dollar.
If you receive a call, a prompt reply could double your contribution. Residents who did not receive a phone call during the phone-a-thon, but who would like to contribute, can send a tax-deductible contribution, made payable to SF of East Providence, to: Phone-a-thon, SF of East Providence, P.O. Box 154438, Riverside, RI 02915. Contributions totaling $200 or more can be awarded as a named scholarship.
