RUMSON – Rumson-Fair Haven High School Foundation, a nonprofit organization of parents and faculty, which supports educational programs at the high school, will hold its fall fundraiser from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25 at Fair Haven’s Raven & The Peach Restaurant on River Road,
Founded in 2001, the RFH High School Foundation is a charitable organization whose mission is to fund projects and grants that will enrich the high school education program. The grants, proposed by teachers and the board, provide state-of-the-art technology, resources and creative supplements to RFHRHS consistent with the foundation’s commitment to exceptional education. Field trips, transportation costs, auxiliary classroom equipment, speakers and presentations are just a few of the various items granted through the foundation.
The foundation has successfully completed several significant capital campaigns, including a world language computer lab, an auditorium projection system, and high-technology lab. The organization recently completed the Auditorium Sound and Lighting Project.
Since its inception, the foundation has raised more than $500,000 for capital campaigns and numerous smaller grants.
“This event is a great way for parents to connect with other parents and meet the RFH staff as we start the new year, while at the same time supporting some fabulous programs which will benefit our children,” RFH Foundation President Judi Tavill said. “We are extremely proud of all the innovative, exciting projects we’ve supported over the years, and our donors make them possible.”
Tickets to the Oct. 25 Fall Gathering are $75 per person, and include hors d’oeuvres, musical entertainment and chance prizes. Tickets are available via PayPal on the RFH Foundation website, or checks may be sent by Oct. 15 to RFHHS Foundation, 74 Ridge Road, Rumson, NJ 07760.
