2015 Donors

The Wylie Bulldogs Education Foundation is feeling very thankful after another successful “We Are Wylie” Dinner. The 6th annual dinner resulted in more than $85,000 donated or pledged to the foundation. The Foundation Board is attempting to gradually increase the amount of their annual awards for grants and scholarships, while building a financial base for the future of this nonprofit.  In May 2015,  teacher grants in the amount of $19,866.03  and student scholarships in the amount of $15,000 were awarded, with $370 in gift cards for classroom materials awarded to 37 new teachers at the August 2015 New Teachers Luncheon.

THANKS to the support of loyal donors, the foundation hopes to grow in its impact, helping the Wylie Schools support a tradition of excellence now and into the future.
