Special Drawing Opportunity
CAC needs your help to have a successful Special Drawing! Please be generous in donating goods and/or services to be given away to attendees who put in tickets toward packages they want. Donations to the drawing are tax deductible and your company or service's name will be prominently displayed with your drawing item. All proceeds go toward the Playground Support Program.
All proceeds from registration fees and the Special Drawing will go toward funding the Playground Support Program in IUSD elementary schools. This program provides social opportunities to children who have a hard time engaging with their peers during recess, by providing alternative, structured activities aside from regular unstructured play. The program is supervised by teachers and aides who are specially trained in how to encourage disengaged children to participate and to foster social situations among them.
