This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Camas Educational Foundation. To celebrate, board members have named the annual auction, “Soaring with CEF: Our 15 year Journey,” and are asking community members to donate unused airline miles.
“The idea came from the Make-A-Wish Foundation,” said Mandy Huth, CEF president. “They have a great message about donating miles or tickets to children. Since this year’s auction is based on a journey, I thought this was a good approach to ask our community to support the children in this manner.”
The non-profit foundation is hoping the dinner and auction will raise $100,000, which will go to support academic enrichment programs for students in the Camas School District. Last year’s event raised more than $85,000.
“CEF has given almost $1 million to the Camas School District, let’s continue to invest in our community,” Huth said. “Every mile donated helps fund our community’s education. The miles will be used for funding a journey for our annual auction.”
