Yearly fundraising events to pay for the continuation of the third grade education program at the SRP Ecological Reserve were researched by the SRPF Board. All of our fundraisers are fully underwritten by generous donations from community businesses and individuals. Many businesses give in kind donations for logistics, silent auction baskets, beverages and opportunity drawings. These contribute to the net total along with tickets sales. The following four events, some tried and true and one new event this year are presented for the enjoyment of all and for the benefit of the children.
