District #305 Education Foundation/100 People Who Care

This being Homecoming week the District #305 Education Foundation thought it would be a good time to remind all alumni about this organization and the fundraising arm entitled ‘100 People Who Care.’

District #305 Education Foundation works with local businesses, alumni and community groups to complement and enhance the educational opportunities of students attending schools in the communities of Arthur, Lovington, Atwood and Hammond.

Tax-deductible donations through the foundation provide educational enrichment programs, services and activities.

For more information about the foundation or to make a donation: send mail to 301 East Columbia, Arthur, Illinois 61911 Phone: 217-543-2511, Email: randall.rod@gmail.com; webpage: http://www.u-knighted.org/.

There is also a private facebook page under the District #305 Education Foundation name where you may send a request to join to keep up with what is happening at your alma mater.

A reminder that there is also a facebook page for alumni of Arthur, Arthur Lovington or Arthur Lovington Atwood Hammond alumni under the name of Arthur High School Alumni.

100 People Who Care is a fundraising arm of the Education Foundation. We very much appreciate those who participated in 100 People Who Care last year and hope that those reading this will be interested in becoming a shareholder in order to keep funding senior scholarships and teacher grants, among other things.

If you have a child, grandchild, cute little neighbor or a love of your school district, please buy a share in 100 People Who Care, either as an individual or in a group of up to four. Make quarterly $50 donations or one $200 donation.

Then come join us at one of our meetings to see what your share does for the students and teachers in the four schools in our district.

We hope to have recipients available at these meetings to share how they are using their grant money.

More information is available on our facebook pages or on our webpage, u-knighted.org.

If you are interested in becoming a shareholder please let us know by filling out and returning the shareholder form that can be found on the 100 People Who Care facebook page, calling 217-543-2375 and leaving a message or send an email to mkyeakel@gmail.com. Thank you and please share this information with others who might be interested.
