Due to hard work and tremendous outpouring of community support, the Columbus Education Foundation met and exceeded its goals and mission of supporting the educational experiences of the students of CISD. With your very generous contributions we are making a difference in the lives of young people.
Some of the milestones achieved include: Active participation in the Chamber of Commerce sponsored Career Fair. This event was for the 9-12 grade CISD students. We provided eye-opening comparisons on lifetime effects of post-graduate education; be it trade school or college. We gave students information about costs, time investment, salary potential and other factors that the students could study and share with their parents.
CEF had our first and soonto- be famous CEF Duck Derby. We raced rubber ducks down the Colorado River. We were successful in selling all 3,000 ducks to people and companies that wanted to participate and awarded prizes to winners. We have our sponsors and donors to thank for the overwhelming success of the Duck Derby, which will be back in 2025.
