Harrell Remodeling Supports San Francisco 49er’s Academy
June 17, 2013Harrell Remodeling has always been an integral part of the communities we work in, and this year is no different!
The Foundation we are spotlighting this month, is the San Francisco 49er’s Academy in E. Palo Alto – a stone’s throw away from our office, yet seemingly a world away.
We decided we wanted to do something more this year and with a local group involving children. After much thought and research, we are pleased to be underwriting the sponsorship for an inaugural FUNdraising event in Atherton, on September 12th, 2013. We are partnering with Wine, Women and Shoes to bring a fabulous event to the Bay Area, where the 350+ women attending will be sipping Napa valley wines, savoring gourmet bites from some of the Bay Areas most notable Chefs, boutique shopping and enjoying a Wilkes Bashford created and sponsored Fashion Show, and with all the proceeds going to the San Francisco 49ers Academy!
A little bit about the Academy and why this fundraiser is so important!
The 49ers Academy serves 6th, 7th and 8th grade students from East Palo Alto. Defined by educational excellence, the 49ers Academy maximizes the potential of every student. The school emphasizes self-discipline, respect, and individualized attention to help students master core subjects and prepare for high school.
Students benefit from a small, nurturing and personalized environment.
Located in the heart of East Palo Alto’s most at-risk neighborhood, the 49ers Academy creates a climate of hope among this community’s most challenged children. Advanced technology, individualized instruction, social support services and extended school hours are just some of the practices the 49ers Academy utilizes to achieve a higher standard of education.
A talented, caring staff establishes high expectations in the belief that every student can and will achieve academic success…and they do!
We are thrilled to be a part of this very special event!
