The Florence Area Stay at Home Moms as well as Florence Mayor Stephen J. Wukela and his wife, Laura, will host a fundraiser event to benefit The School Foundation.
Mom Prom, a night where adults can dress up, dance and enjoy good food and entertainment, will begin at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Wukelas’ home.
The black-tie optional event is for invited guests only. Any donations from those who attend the event will be donated to The School Foundation.
Laura Wukela, who is a member of the Florence Area Stay at Home Moms organization, said she wanted to make this year’s event a night where guests could have fun and contribute to the schools in Florence School District 1.
“We’re young mothers (and) we have children who are entering the public school system, or who are currently in the public school system,” Wukela said. “There was no better choice than to give the money that we raise to The School Foundation.
“They strive for excellence in Florence School District 1, where all of our children will attend or are already there,” she said. “I know The School Foundation will have good ideas about how to use that money especially since there have been so many budget cuts in the public education system.”
The School Foundation’s mission is to promote educational excellence in Florence 1 through grants for innovative and high impact programs designed to benefit all children, according to its Web site www.theschoolfoundation.org.
