WESTERHOFF FUNDRAISER TO SUPPORT COVID-19 RELIEF IN INDIA: GIVEINDIA
We are aware that all of us in our Westerhoff community have family and friends all over the country and the world who are, or have been, in very difficult circumstances because of COVID-19. Given the situation around us and in the world during this past year of the pandemic, and as we enjoy our ability to safely reopen and regain our momentum with our lives, we thought it would be worthwhile to join together as a school in a fundraising effort to help battle COVID-19 where it might be most needed right now. Donations could be made to honor our students' recital videos and art show presentations, as well as all the exceptional and diligent remote work our students have been doing during this challenging time.
We have set up a Fundraiser with the GiveIndia organization and are asking our Westerhoff community of parents, students, and friends to make donations to GiveIndia to honor our students' work. The fund drive will run during the month of June, from June 1-30. GiveIndia is considered India's largest and most trustworthy giving platform for donors. GiveIndia disperses all monies received to non-profit organizations throughout India that have been evaluated for transparency and credibility. The money we raise will go to non-profits that are working to obtain and distribute critically-needed oxygen, supplies, and care to help battle Covid-19 in India.
In addition, Mr. and Mrs. Westerhoff have offered to match the donations that we are able to raise up to $1000 through the Westerhoff Foundation.
We are asking the teachers to mention this project in an appropriate way to the students, so that they are aware that they will be part of a Westerhoff School community effort to be of service and to help people. Students will receive a certificate of achievement for their excellent work and their part in helping in this effort. Please consider giving whatever you might feel comfortable with.
