Phone-a-thon Match

 

 

NOW IS TIME TO MATCH PHONE-A-THON SCHOLARSHIP DONATIONS

 

            Members of Scholarship Foundation of East Providence remind residents that volunteers will be calling from February 9 to 19 for donations for scholarships for local students. High school students, current and past scholarship recipients and their families, and members of the scholarship fund will take part in the annual fundraising event.

 

            “We are very grateful for the support of The Carter Fund,” stated Louise Paiva, phone-a-thon chair. The Carter Fund has provided a grant of $45,000 for this year’s phone-a-thon. With their support, the first $45,000 in phone-a-thon donations received will be matched, dollar for dollar, by The Carter Fund.

 

            If you receive a call, a prompt reply could double your contribution. Residents who do not receive a phone call during the phone-a-thon, but who would like to contribute, can send a tax-deductible contribution, made payable to SF of East Providence, to: Phone-a-thon, SF of East Providence, P.O. Box 154438, Riverside, RI  02915. Contributions totaling $200 or more can be awarded as a named scholarship.
