DENIM & DIAMONDS GALA RAISES $58,000 FOR SMART BOARDS
The Foundation for Winona Area Public Schools wishes to thank the capacity gathering of so many outstanding citizens at its Denim & Diamonds Gala on March 3rd at Visions Event Center. As a result of this event over $58,000.00 was raised for SMART boards/technology at our schools. The Foundation was also honored to announce Gary Evans as the recipient of the Foundation's 2012 Legacy Award in recognition of his exemplary tradition of selfless giving to benefit our students and community. Special thanks are extended to our two lead sponsors – Merchants Bank and Winona National Bank. These two businesses made the outstanding contribution of three SMART boards each (six total) to our schools in support of the Gala. We sincerely appreciate the community focus and commitment to education of both Winona National and Merchants Bank.
The $58,000.000 raised for SMART boards at this event will be of benefit to our students for years to come. We are so grateful. If anyone would like to view a SMART board in action, please contact the Foundation at 494.1004.
Thank you to all participants, sponsors and donors and please save the date of March 2, 2013 for next year's "Party with a Purpose" Gala at Visions Event Center.
