We are thrilled to announce that we have not only achieved our $90,000 goal for the Annual Fund Drive, but we exceeded it and raised over
$100,000
because of your generous donations to our school! This is incredible and I feel so lucky to be a part of this amazing community. Thank you so much for your donations and for your support of our
DESEF
Annual Fund Drive!
To meet our year-long goal, we will have two additional fundraisers later on in the school year: the
Auction
, kicking off on February 22, 2020, and a
Boosterthon Fun Run
in May. This successful Annual Fund Drive gives us a very strong start and sets us up for success in achieving our overall goal for the year.
Please join us for the first
DESEF
Meeting of the year,
Thursday 9/12 at 7:00pm
in the Library Reading Room.
Again, thank you so much.
Best,

The DESEF Warriors fundraiser at the new Chase Center has been so popular! We sold over 90 tickets in the first 24 hours since they went on sale on Tuesday. Thank you for getting your money in so quickly. We have sold out of the first group of tickets.
The good news is that the Warriors are opening up more of the upper level seats for Walt Disney family and friends to purchase. These tickets will be located in the Upper Section 208. In order to secure a block together, they will be $110 each. If you have family or friends that you know are interested, please reserve your tickets now before the remaining 41 are sold out. The Warriors game is on
Friday, November 1, 2019 at 7:30pm
vs. the San Antonio Spurs. New flyers are available in the office.
Please contact
Laura Schafer
, DESEF Executive Vice President, with any questions.
Each ticket sold will benefit the Disney Elementary School Foundation, which in turn benefits our school's critical programs and staff.
Thank you for supporting
DESEF
