Phones will be ringing across the city soon as the Camas Educational Foundation launches its annual phone-a-thon fundraising campaign.
Volunteer students and adults will be gathering donations beginning Tuesday from 6:30 to 9 p.m., and will continue through Thursday.
The phone-a-thon fundraiser is in its 12th year and has raised between $15,000-$20,000 per year in support of learning programs that the Camas School District may not have the budget to offer, according to a CEF press release.
It is one of three annual fundraisers, the others being the “Taste of Camas” in May and CEF auction held in October.
Money donated has supported enrichment programs in early learning, language, arts, science, math, social studies, history, and more. Working with the Camas School Board, CEF offers major grants for those programs.
