Arrowleaf, Beneventi’s, Everybody’s Brewing, Feast, Harvest Market, Henni’s, Le Doubblé Troubblé, Pizza Leona, Soča, and the White Salmon Valley Education Foundation (WSVEF) invite you to shop and dine locally to support White Salmon public schools with the “Night Out For Schools” event Thursday, March 16, 2023.
On this special evening, each of these local businesses will donate to the WSVEF 5% of net sales made from 4pm until close. “As a local business, we feel it is crucial to invest in White Salmon’s future,” said Harvest Market owner Jeff O’Neal, “and helping out schools is one way we can all contribute to our community.”
Night Out For Schools brings our community together for a good cause. Since 2006, over $825,000 in community-raised donations have been awarded to the schools directly from WSVEF. Community donations have also been leveraged through WSVEF grant writing services to secure over $6.4 million in grants from outside funding sources. In addition, 25% of all donations are invested in an endowment to create a self-sustaining source of funding for years to come.
“As we turn the corner into spring, this is a great chance for our community to gather, have some fun, and support our schools. So invite your friends, or treat a favorite teacher to dinner or drinks, and join us on March 16th!” said WSVEF’s new executive director, Kylie Uffelman. While you’re stocking up on groceries and dining out, you can also enjoy live music at North Shore Cafe from White Salmon band students, facilitated by local favorites Tova and Richard Tillinghast.
