Event Nets $14,000 for Scholarships and
Classroom Grants

  The eleventh annual Silent Auction and Reverse Raffle brought together nearly 150 Green Schools Foundation supporters for an evening of fun and friendly bidding, with the ultimate winner being students of the Green Local Schools system.

The event raised more than $14,000, which will be used to help fund student scholarships and classroom grants.  Guests bid on items ranging from vacation condominiums in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina to Indians and Aeros games, tickets for Mary Poppins at Playhouse Square, golf packages, and more. 

The evening also featured a 50-50 raffle and sideboards.  Thanks to all who attended.  See you next year!
