3rd Annual E3 2K/5K Family Fun Run

The Etiwanda Excellence in Education Foundation, also known as E3 did it again!  This marks the third annual Family Fun Run.  It was held on Saturday, April 19th.  The course was in a new location this year.  The race began and ended at Grapeland Elementary School, in the Etiwanda School District.  Chaffey Federal Credit Union was the primary sponsor for the run this year, and with their financial support, the E3 Foundation anticipates that the proceeds from the race will be approximately $12,000.  That equates to $750 for each of the 16 schools in the district.  The E3 Foundation is committed to helping children stay active and to instill them with an attitude of maintaining a life of fitness. We intend to do this by supporting our Physical Education Departments with necessary equipment, training and curriculum to motivate children to enjoy staying fit for life.

E3 is a non-profit organization, our mission is: Enhancing a high quality, well-rounded education for ALL students in the Etiwanda School District.

We would like to thank all the runners, all the volunteers, and all of the sponsors.  A special thanks to all the teachers and principals in the district that promoted the race, Cathy Randazzo, president of Chaffey Credit Union, Councilman Rex Gutierrez, a long time supporter of the E3 Foundation,  and Jeff Sipos, Principal of Grapeland Elementary School for hosting the event.

The Etiwanda Excellence in Education Foundation, E3, held a
“Dynamite Dinner” fundraiser in October with the goal of raising
enough money to purchase projectors for each school in the district—
approximately $32,000. Through the dedication and hard work of the
Foundation members and volunteers—and the generous support of
community and local business members, the Foundation was successful
in meeting its goal! A check for $32,000 was presented to the Board of
Trustees at the December meeting and funds will be distributed to
schools ($2,000 each) in January for the purchase of the projectors.
