Successful Golden Eagle Cash Bash Raises Funds for Students!

This past Friday, April 17^th the Columbia School District Family came together to raise funds through the Inaugural Golden Eagle Cash Bash to support Academics, Arts and Athletics.  The Golden Eagle Cash Bash was planned and organized by a central committee who worked together to raise the funds to support programs in academics, arts and athletics and scholarships for our students.  The committee, made up of the Columbia School District administrative team, board members and volunteers, began meeting late last fall to organize the event to ensure a successful evening full of fun.

Thank you to all of those who supported the Golden Eagle Cash Bash by volunteering on the committee and working the event, donating items to the silent auction, purchasing items from the silent auction, buying tickets to the event and the 50/50 tickets.  The folks of Columbia came together and had fun fellowshipping, laughing and meeting new friends.  The money raised will fund mini-grants for Academics, Arts and Athletics!  Teachers, coaches and administrators will be able to apply for funding for special programs and projects that benefit Columbia students.   Scholarships will also be available to our great students as a result of our generous community members.

The Cash Bash featured cash prizes, a silent auction and a lot of fun with Columbia community members.  Jackson’s Hot Country 101.5 radio personality and Columbia Central High School graduate Scott Clow helped make the evening fun by announcing the winners and opportunities for participants.  The Columbia Kiwanis Club members assisted Columbia School District volunteers by keeping track of the chip board and helping to raise funds at the Cash Bash.  Vandercook Lions’ Club members also helped the Golden Eagle Cash Bash committee in the planning and running of the event.  They allowed our district committee to use their equipment which resulted in a successful event. 

Our generous and fun loving community members donated more than $17,000 during the event.  Winners of the event were Todd Wanty and Justin Shuberg.  The evening of fun and fellowship was so successful that the committee has already scheduled the Second Annual Golden Eagle Cash Bash for Saturday, February 27, 2016 at the Gene Davis Banquet Center.  Make sure to put it on your calendar today!  If you have questions or want to participate in the great programs at Columbia School District, email me at pamela.campbell@myeagles.org or call me at 5175926641.
