Burlingame Bingo
Written By: Jennifer Webb | Issue: 2016/10 - October
On August 4, Burlingame Country Club and surrounding business owners and residents came together to raise over $25,000 to benefit T. C. Henderson Elementary School in Toxaway.
Our Designer Purse Bingo event was a huge success enabling us to partner with the school to meet some of the needs and challenges facing them.
The donation will be used to support the STEM School Initiative. Beginning this school year, T. C. Henderson has been designated a STEM School, with curriculum focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. The school will use the money to fund the Muddy Sneakers Program for fifth graders, a highly successful science-based program providing students with hands-on experiences outside the classroom, purchase needed science and technology equipment, and equip each classroom
with science kits.
The school media center will be updated with current reference materials and quality children’s literature. Finally, this year every student will have a student agenda to help them organize their homework and encourage parent support and better communication between home and school. These are only a few of the ways this money will be utilized to help TCH support educational opportunities for each student.
It is with deep heartfelt appreciation and gratitude that we extend our sincere thanks to the community for your participation in this event. The children of T. C. Henderson thank you!
