The Benefit for a Brighter Future is our premiere fundraising event, generating up to 30% of our annual income. We are fortunate each year to welcome an ever-growing number of Redwood City's top educators, community members, and business leaders for an evening of information, enjoyment, and opportunity. Last year close to 350 participants helped us raise more than $100,000 to support our Redwood City students. Thanks to our generous sponsors, every dollar we raise at this event goes directly toward providing our children with the education they need to succeed. We are very proud that we can offer our supporters this unique opportunity to make such a solid investment in the future. As with past years, we will be presenting our annual RCEF Investor Award at the event. This year we recognize Wells Fargo for its long-term support for the RCEF and the students of our district. Past recipients have included the Westly Foundation, Oracle, and the Redwood City Civic Cultural Commission. For the first time, we are recognizing a key district volunteer with our Inspiration Award in honor of Pat Crawford. While everyone who helps our students plays an important part in our district, there are always those who stand out for their service and ability to inspire others to take action. Our amazing Redwood City students will be onhand to help with the event and discuss their participation in the "What Makes Learning Fun" art project sponsored by the RCEF. Each school is preparing its own banner mural on the theme "What Makes Learning Fun." Custom-framed mockups of the artwork will be available by silent auction at the event, and the banners will be on display as well. Participants will enjoy a fun table ice-breaker activity and participate in a speed seminar on what the future holds for Redwood City in 2010 and beyond. We are also proud to announce that Pacific Shores Center has once again offered us the use of their beautiful facilities for the event. We are grateful for the ongoing support of the Pacific Shores Center management, staff, and tenants.
