Lake Holcombe Foundation

     The Lake Holcombe Educational Foundation is a non-profit organization created in 1994 with its sole purpose of providing funds for educational projects and
activities as outlined by the academic day and outside the normal educational program to the Lake Holcombe School District. This is done through a Board of Trustees who are committed to the educational advancement of the students and staff. The current Board of Trustees are Sharon Lapp, Gwen Warwick, Rod Witt, Brenda Cigan, Brian Strzok, Robert Bayerl, Sherry McMenamin, Michelle Fasbender, Tracy Geist, and Jeff Mastin.
     The funds to do this are obtained from fund-raisers along with individual and corporate tax-deductible contributions. The Foundation has tried many different events to raise money, but has now settled into a golf tournament held in July and the taking of pictures for all students of the community whether in or out of school in the spring of the year.
     Donations can be made in the form of cash, securities, check or personal property in any amount. All donations can only be utilized with the approval of the Board of Trustees and must be consistent with the Foundation’s mission and goals. Any person or organization wishing to make a contribution to the Foundation may do so by contacting the Lake Holcombe Superintendent of Schools.
     All awards are given in the form of competitive grants or projects submitted to the Board of Trustees by the staff of the school on an annual basis. These grants and projects are then reviewed by the Board of Trustees to determine who will receive funding. The following is a list that shows the winners of the grants and projects supported by the Foundation.
