Teresa Rizzo, Flagler County Education Foundation's executive director, said she was overjoyed at the number of people who turned out for the foundation’s 20th annual Mardi Gras Gala on Feb. 13 at Grand Haven Club.
The foundation’s goal was to raise $40,000 for the Take Stock in Children program and the foundation’s Senior Scholarship Drive By and Surprise program. But Rizzo said they surpassed that goal, raising about $50,000.
“I am overjoyed with the amount of people that are here from the community, different corners of the community and our school system as well, to support this program,” Rizzo said. “We have a lot of school support here, which is because of (Flagler Schools Superintendent) LaShakia Moore. She has shown support for the Education Foundation like I haven't seen since (former Superintendent) Jacob Oliva. And she sets that precedent. I am just so thrilled to have her as our superintendent and work with her.”
