Fund raising has become more challenging in the age of the COVID pandemic, but the HSE Schools Foundation is restructuring Game Day as a virtual event.
The Friday, Feb. 19 Game Day will feature an online virtual trivia contest.
For those enjoying the popular Game Day auction, it is back in virtual form. The auction annually features unique items and experiences, including baskets from each of the HSE schools and PTOs plus an online raffle. You can view the auction online from anywhere beginning Feb. 12 until bidding closes on Feb. 19.
Game Day raises roughly $100,000 each year, which the Hamilton Southeastern Education Foundation (HSEF) uses to invest in innovative, teacher- and student-led ideas from around the district. Proceeds from Game Day support innovative science, engineering, technology and math (STEM); literacy; mental health and wellness initiatives across all grade levels within HSE Schools.
How to you sign up for Game Day? Here are the details, as provided by the foundation:
Register your team here with two ways to play:
- Register your team and be a team captain.Up to eight people can play together on a team for a $200 tax-deductible donation, with discounts available for HSE Schools staff, clubs, PTOs and alumni. The playing field is up to you! Host a socially distant gathering, or a team Zoom call with friends and family as the participants can be located anywhere!
- Couple/family teams. Family teams of two adults and kids can also register for family fun for a $60 tax-deductible donation, with discounts available for HSE Schools staff and alumni. Make it a date night in, or family game night with multiple generations participating via video as you compete.
