Nancy Mckernon's Fundraising Page
Dear Friends & Family,
Thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page for the 2008 Saul & Dayee G. Haas Foundation Annual Campaign. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to my fundraising efforts.
If you are not already aware, the Haas Foundation is committed to improving the quality of life among needy secondary students in communities throughout the state of Washington, by supporting schools to encourage students to stay in school, return to school or get involved within their learning community.
Students’ immediate needs are supported though grants made to secondary schools by the foundation. Schools use this money available in a Haas Fund for use when a student can not afford an activity pass, needs new pair of running shoes or for additional school supplies.
This year’s Annual Campaign will help raise money for the Foundation’s Challenge Matching Grants – which provide up to an additional one-half of schools’ yearly grant amount, based on local fundraising efforts. The more money raised means that more students in Washington State will be supported!
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! Your contributions will make a difference in the lives of students in Washington State.
From Ballard High School
We were able to assist a student who could not afford to spend $40 for the required Spanish workbook. Even though she had excellent Spanish skills she couldn’t pass this class without turning in the workbook assignments. We were able to help her purchase this workbook with help from the Saul Haas Foundation. Once the student got her workbook, she quickly brought her grade up to a C. She worked very hard to improve her academic standing and needed to graduate with a grade point average that allowed her to be considered for college admission. The Saul Haas Foundation was very important for this student.
