~ Dollars for Scholars Phonathon ~
Thank you Wakefield…
On Saturday, March 14th student volunteers from local high schools manned the telephones during the 29th annual Citizens’ Scholarship Foundation of Wakefield Dollars for Scholars Phonathon. Wakefield residents replied in their usual generous way! Thank you to the kind people of Wakefield who pledged close to $16,000 to our Phonathon.
The annual Phonathon helps raise funds for scholarships awarded to Wakefield college students. Each donation, regardless of the dollar amount, goes a long way in making a difference in the life of at least one local student in need of scholarship assistance.
If you received a call and made a pledge, you will receive a confirmation by mail. Residents who were not at home when the calls were made can still donate. Mail your donation check made payable to CSF of Wakefield, PO Box 321, Wakefield, MA 01880 or see our website to pay by credit card using PayPal. Donations can be applied to an existing permanent or accumulating scholarship fund, the CSF General Fund (money used for scholarships awarded in June) or the Greatest Needs Fund (CSF will use these funds to pay for either scholarships or administrative expenses). Ask your employer about matching gifts! All donations are tax deductible. Thank you for your generosity.
