The annual CSEF Gala will be held on November 18th, 2023 at the Newport Beach Civic Center. This year's theme is a Sneakerball so come dressed in your best cocktail attire with your coolest sneakers.  The evening's festivities will include dinner, music, dancing, as well as live and silent auctions. The primary goal of the foundation is to raise much needed funds to provide educational opportunities to the students at California Elementary School that wouldn't otherwise be available due to district and statewide funding shortfalls. Your financial support in achieving these goals either by way of monetary donations, gift certificates and/or items that we can auction off at our event would be greatly appreciated and will be highlighted at the gala in person. Our goal for the gala is to raise $35,000 to cover our tech teacher's annual salary that is paid for by the foundation. The California School Education Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization so all donations made are tax deductible and will help us to achieve our fundraising goal. Thank you for your time and consideration in supporting the roughly 400 students at California Elementary School.
