Our Community Makes a Difference in the Future of Our Children
Simi Valley Education Foundation’s Days of Golden Dreams
Raises Money to Support Simi Valley Public Schools
The Simi Valley Education Foundation recently hosted the Days of Golden Dreams -- Celebration of Education annual fundraiser. With a Gold Rush Theme, more than 225 guests enjoyed an evening that included saloon girls and cowboy bartenders, signature themed drinks and a live auction led by Simi Valley’s very own principal - Steve Pietrolungo from Simi High. How appropriate since the evening was about raising much-needed funds to continue to support the programs that the Foundation provides to the schools, teachers and students in Simi Valley public schools.
Chairs Ro Curry and Lulu Means made sure the evening was filled with something for everyone. In addition to the live auction, where everything from walk-on roles to puppies and vacations were bid on, there was also a silent auction and gaming tables. But if that wasn’t enough, guests enjoyed a chance to win a 49er’s Opportunity Drawing, join in a Take-A-Chance Game, and dance into the night with a DJ that played all the hits! “This was our sixth year presenting this fundraiser. Our goal was to keep our guests busy the entire night with one fun event after another, and they were,” said Curry.
This event is devoted to the partnerships of individuals, businesses and public education that all recognize the importance of helping to provide funds for innovative education programs that enrich the educational experiences of our students. “Through our various programs, we are able to provide education learning opportunities that exceed basic standards, spark creativity, and sustain excellence,” said Brian Iverson, president of the Simi Valley Education Foundation.
One of the highlights of the evening was the live auction. Our auctioneer, Steve Pietrolungo, was able to bring a more energetic and down-home feeling to our auction,” said Means. She added, “Bidding during the live auction was fast and fun and they were able to engage the entire room since they knew so many people. ‘It’s for the kids’ was uttered over and over and bidding wars were not uncommon.”
Community support is vital to our success. Thank you to the entire community and the hundreds of donors who support the Simi Valley Education Foundation and help maintain excellence in the public schools of Simi Valley.
It is with sincere gratitude and special thanks to our Days of Golden Dreams Sponsors:
Amanda McPherson Foundation
