Cabrillo Education Foundation launches major fundraising campaign

The Cabrillo Education Foundation (formerly Back to Basics) is launching a new fundraising program designed to bring its endowment to one million dollars by December. 

Every dollar pledged before the end of August will be matched with money from a $220,000 fund contributed by the foundation’s board of directors, David and Mary Butler, Cindy Labuda, Christine and Lenny Mendonca, Patti and Jay Warshauer of Main Street Goldworks and some anonymous donors.

By the end of 2008 the Foundation hopes to reach its original target of two million dollars. Once that goal is achieved, the foundation will begin releasing funds to the schools.
