For only $5 you can get your car washed AND
help support the 6th grade class' Sly Park camping trip.

Dates for this fundraiser are Saturday, March 19th,
noon to 3:00 pm at Phoenix Park, and

Saturday, March 26th, noon to 3:00 pm at Parkway School.

Thank You for Supporting Beach Blanket Bingo

Thank you to all who supported our 8th Annual Beach Blanket Bingo fundraiser last month! 

Not only did we sell out of admission tickets, but for the first time ever, we sold out of raffle tickets.  Over 280 guests from across Northern California gathered at Florin Road Bingo for an evening of fun, raising more than $19,000 to directly benefit schools and non-profits in the Florin Road community. 

We are grateful to all who made this event a success, including:  Sacramento Consolidated Charities (event host), Nick Toma from "Good Day Sacramento" (emcee), Hannibal's Catering and Events, and The Bolt Bar. 

Many thanks to renewing sponsors Pacific Gas and Electric Company (Diamond sponsor), Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 447 and Walmart Foundation (Gold sponsors), Construction and General Laborers' Local 185 and Elk Grove Toyota (Silver sponsors), and California School Employees Association (Bronze sponsor).  We are pleased to announce that the Cement Masons Local 400 also became a supporter this year through their Bronze sponsorship.

An immediate beneficiary of our Beach Blanket Bingo event was Parkway Elementary School in Sacramento.  Since 2002, the Florin Road Foundation has presented awards to their students who have outstanding scores on the state-mandated STAR test. 

The number of eligible students has grown by leaps-and-bounds over the years, from 11 students in 2002 to a record 315 students in 2010!  This year's award winners were recognized at a special school ceremony and were presented with DollarTree gift cards from the Florin Road Foundation.  We are so proud of our Parkway Eagles - keep up the good work!
