RCISD Education Foundation invites supporters to help 'brighten' students' futures

Sep. 3—Working to provide funds for classroom grants, literacy programs and other district initiatives as well as teacher and student recognition programs, the Royse City ISD Education Foundation strives to enlighten students and further illuminate their paths.

Thus, the theme for the foundation's Evening for Education fundraising gala this year is "Our Future is Bright."

Promising an evening "filled with bright lights, celebration, laughter, learning, dancing and a whole lot of fun," the foundation invites supporters to don their best "bright" evening wear at the gala, "whether it's a fancy gown, a snazzy suit or [their] most vibrant pair of jeans."

The gala is planned for Oct. 26 at Hilton Dallas/Rockwall Lakefront at 2055 Summer Lee Drive, with VIP check in starting at 5 p.m. followed by general check-in at 5:30 p.m. and and the event starting at 6:30 p.m.

The event is to include dinner, a live benefit auction and a silent auction as well as music and dancing.

Tickets and sponsorships for the gala can now be purchased online at https://tinyurl.com/yffykvef, ranging from $150 for a single ticket and a $25,000 "Champion for Education" sponsorship.

"Get ready to mingle with education rockstars, community leaders and fellow supporters as we raise funds to empower educators and inspire the next generation of learners," a post from the RCISD Education Foundation said.
