Postponement of the Falls Church Education Foundation’s (FCEF) Gala & Auction, combined with the immediate need to respond to the current crisis, will leave FCEF short on funds for critical teacher grants, programs, and operations. To raise these funds and ensure FCEF is able to provide needed dollars to teachers in this unprecedented time, we are launching an “Orange A-Peel” fundraising campaign with a community twist.
As friends and supporters of the Foundation, we are asking you to help us deliver on our mission by spreading the word! Support may range from donating to FCEF for fall teacher grants to posting a picture and encouraging others to join in.
When we reach. . .
. . . $10,000 . . . Several FCCPS teachers will post videos of themselves performing the Orange Justice Fortnite Dance.
. . . $25,000 . . . FCCPS principals will share video of the respective school mascot dumping a cooler of ice water on their head.
. . . $50,000 . . . A cross-section of FCCPS teachers and staff, Superintendent Dr. Noonan, and the mascots, will lead a car parade through the city with cars decorated with orange streamers and balloons. As noted above, all individuals or local companies that donate $500 or more to the fundraiser will also be invited to participate in the parade, giving them an opportunity to advertise their participation. (Parade will be scheduled as social distancing rules allow.)
