Since 2012, Partners for Excellence has raised donations worth over half a million dollars. Our most recent efforts included securing and renovating the historic Arnheim House – now home to the Dr. Minnie Lee Dean Education Center – and raising funds to renovate the boys’ and girls’ locker rooms at Radford High School. In the coming weeks, this page will be updated with details on the progress of the Foundation’s priority programs as well as with any new initiatives that emerge from our work with RCSP leadership.
While we continue to work strategically with the school system to raise money for projects with multi-year timelines to enhance the academic, artistic, and athletic experiences for our students, our immediate focus, however, is to raise money for the RCPS Food Hardship Fund. In this time of crisis, we are grateful for the generosity demonstrated by our community as we work to meet the most basic needs of our city’s children.
