The Carrollton City Schools Education Foundation wrapped up its annual Golden Giving fundraising campaign in early September. Golden Giving is a simple way community members can make a one-time or recurring donation to support the foundation’s program areas which include scholarships, classroom grants, and field trip experiences. The foundation’s current focus is to support more field trips for students who cannot afford to attend. There was a “Gold Out” celebration at the first home football game on Sept. 2 to close out the three-week campaign. A projected $35K was raised from community members through committed recurring or one-time donations. Currently, more than sixty percent of employees give each month to Golden Giving. Each employee and community member enrolled was entered into a raffle at the Gold Out event. Pictured from left are raffle winners Katie Cantrell, Amanda Harvey, and Drew Ebensberger.
