Harbor City Elementary needs large umbrellas to use during car loop time. Imagine getting your logo out in front of parents every afternoon. It does seem to rain every day now!
Harbor City Elementary is looking for a used electronic marquee or outdoor sign. They are willing to do the refurbishment and installation, but are looking for a donation for the sign.

Any leads from business, government or community partners are welcomed. Contact Tami Lanterman.
