EdUCate! is a non-profit foundation established in 1993 with the goal of providing supplemental funds to all five University City public schools.
In lieu of Oktoberfest, EdUCate! is holding a fall fundraiser auction and a Dollar-A-Day campaign. The auction is over but you can still support your schools. Choose to be a Dollar-A-Day donor at $365 and fund a classroom for the whole year (1 teacher and 30 students). Or donate $180 for $1/school day or ANY amount!
Do you know a teacher, counselor, or staff member who has made a difference in your child’s life? Thank them through EdUCate!’s Honor A Teacher program. Make a donation in their name and they will be honored at a staff meeting, in our newsletter, and online and they will receive a gift and a personal message from you.
