WHY SPONSOR THE GOLDEN GALLOP?

With proceeds benefiting all of the Golden Schools Foundation (GSF) key programs, your support directly impacts the growth of our school funding through programs like Enrichment Grants, Student Academic Summer Boot Camps, Tish Agos Credit Recovery and our College Scholarship Program. Our existing programs will be expanded to address the impacts of the significant trauma from the pandemic. Specifically addressing Social/Emotional needs and access to necessary instructional tools. In addition, we will help to fund unforeseen expenses related to potential Remote Learning situations. The needs of the schools will also be compounded by the anticipated state budget cuts to education. We couldn't provide these programs without the help of our Sponsors.

We can work together to promote improvements in student achievement and teaching excellence

THANK YOU!
