The LREF Gala is the Ladera Ranch Education Foundation’s (LREF) signature fundraising event. The eigth annual Gala will be held at Kaleidoscope in Mission Viejo on March 24, 2012. The Great Gatsby, 1920′s themed event features dinner, dancing and incredible silent auction items. The LREF Gala is organized and planned by an all volunteer committee and is LREF’s largest fundraiser of each year.
Last year’s Groovy Gala raised over $35,000 to fund the LREF grant awards. The purpose of the Ladera Ranch Education Foundation grant program is to support the public schools that serve the community of Ladera Ranch and to provide funds to enrich the learning environment, motivate students, and enhance instructional effectiveness. Grants are awarded on an annual basis and the success of LREF fund raising events directly impacts the amount of funds that are awarded to schools each year. These grants fund various curriculum areas including reading, math, social studies and music. Since it’s incorporation in July 2004, LREF has granted over $205,000 through it’s fund raising efforts. You can get more information about our grant program at our main LREF website: http://www.LREFonline.org.
