This year’s GRGL2022 fundraiser brought in more than 250 guests, dozens of new sponsors and partners, and more than $126,000. Held Saturday, September 17, at Pinecrest Country Club, the annual event featured an appearance by the Hallsville High School Jazz Band. Table decorations spotlighted the talents of the Hallsville High School’s floral design and Advanced floral design classes of Mrs. Amber Killeen.

The event generates funding for innovative and creative grants for classrooms that are not funded by the normal operating budget and dual credit course scholarships. Past grant winners were also highlighted at the event on banners throughout the venue. These banners will be distributed to the campuses to spread more community awareness about the Foundation and the creative ideas and projects the Foundation funded the campus teachers during April 2022 Pride Patrol.

“This event was special because our volunteers included teachers and HISD staff and it gave our donors and supporters a chance to meet them and thank them for their generosity,” said the Foundation’s executive director, Beth Godsey. “Last year, we gave back more than $96,000 to the classrooms and in scholarships. It is great to see the teachers and staff come out and help us support them, and the sponsors and donors showing out again this year. We see ourselves exceeding this number in 2023.”
