Giving to School One

School One Raffle
The grand prize winner receives gift certificates to 12 of RI's best restaurants. Imagine you and a friend dining throughout the year at Rue de L'Espoir, Hi Hat Jazz Club, McCormick and Schmicks, Spain, Blaze, your choice of any Pinelli-Marra restaurant including Twist, Grille on Main and Waterplace as well as six other celebrated restaurants throughout the state. Proceeds from the raffle are going to fund an artist who will work with students to create a sign for the building, materials to make the sign, and other school projects. Tickets are $25 each.

Annual Giving
Proceeds from the School One Annual Fund are applied to the yearly operating budget that covers such expenses as faculty salaries, building maintenance, financial aid, equipment and classroom supplies. Gifts restricted to a particular purpose, such as the purchase of software, financial aid, or landscaping are applied to the annual budget for that dedicated purpose. Pledges may be made and paid over the course of the year.
