We are very gratified that together the Lake Highland Preparatory School community raised $42,403.96 for Japanese Relief; with Harris Rosen’s matching gift, that’s a total of $84,807.92.
We will be working with Mr. Rosen and some of our Lake Highland Japanese families to make sure the money gets to people truly in need, without a large portion of the money being siphoned off to pay overhead of a non-profit.
Many thanks to the many individual donors, to the Girls Scouts, the members of the Art Club, and the benefit concert performers for their generosity and giving hearts.
