Donate directly for a matching parent donation up to $1000: A WCHS parent is matching up to $1000 in cash donations. This donation is specifically for our gala fundraiser and will go to the foundation to help with school needs. Please use the school auction site to donate : https://wchs.schoolauction.net/gala2023/g/. 

This is a non-profit donation for tax purposes. Any sized donation is welcomed. Please see if local businesses/ employers/ friends and family that you know,  are willing to make cash donations. 

Want to help the Gala? If you have a local business and are able to be a sponsor of the Gala, please let us know. We are looking for a marketing expert, a volunteer coordinator, and a decorations volunteer. If any parent has a business who deals with decorations and wishes to sponsor the linens and decor, please get in touch. You will have a mention at the gala. For the day of the event, we will have a list of those needs coming soon but will need people to help move auction items, and run some of the games. It is a great way to meet fellow West Campus families and support the school. Contact Bella Agrawal at vp@wc-fe.org for volunteering, sponsorships, Facebook or website ads, and ads on posters/banners at the school or the gala. 

Next West Campus Foundation for Excellence general meeting is 2/6/23 at 6 pm through 7:30 pm in the library or online (*date changed due to a holiday). Note: the new start time to allow for more discussion, but you do not have to stay the whole time. We are planning for some student project presentations, so please join us. Also meet our new college counselor, Ms. McNamara. Thank you for your support. Contact president@wc-fe.org for questions or concerns.  (Web page link- https://wc-fe.org/foundation-meeting-feb-6-date-update-600pm/)
