We pay tuition and therapy out of pocket, so why is fundraising even necessary?
Fundraising is crucial to the financial well being of JW. We need to make every effort possible to bridge the enormous gap between what the school receives in tuition for your child and the real cost of their education, which JW assumes out of pocket. Tuition covers less than 50% of the actual costs.
The school has an annual budget of approximately $2,000,000. These funds are raised from
grants from foundations, corporations, service clubs, an annual appeal and events such as our golf tournament The Benefit is the largest source of fundraising each year and your participation is critical.
The fundraising drive for the Benefit is the opportunity for parent participation in the effort and is a key success factor of the Benefit. Fundraising enables us to cover event costs up front so that 100% of Benefit proceeds go directly to the school.
