Downtown Businesses Support Schools with Night out for Schools

Arrowleaf, Beneventi’s, Everybody’s Brewing, Feast, Harvest Market, Henni’s, Le Doubblé
Troubblé, Pizza Leona, Soča, and the White Salmon Valley Education Foundation (WSVEF)
invite you to shop and dine locally to support White Salmon public schools with the “Night Out
For Schools” event Thursday, March 16, 2023.

On this special evening, each of these local businesses will donate to the WSVEF 5% of net
sales made from 4 pm until close. “As a local business, we feel it is crucial to invest in White
Salmon’s future,” said Harvest Market owner Jeff O’Neal, “and helping out schools is one way
we can all contribute to our community.”

Night Out For Schools brings our community together for a good cause. Since 2006, over
$825,000 in community-raised donations have been awarded to the schools directly from
WSVEF. Community donations have also been leveraged through WSVEF grant writing services
to secure over $6.4 million in grants from outside funding sources. In addition, 25% of all
donations are invested in an endowment to create a self-sustaining source of funding for years
to come.

“As we turn the corner into spring, this is a great chance for our community to gather, have
some fun, and support our schools. So invite your friends, or treat a favorite teacher to dinner or
drinks, and join us on March 16th!” said WSVEF’s new executive director, Kylie Uffelman. While
you’re stocking up on groceries and dining out, you can also enjoy live music at North Shore
Cafe from White Salmon band students, facilitated by local favorites Tova and Richard
Tillinghast.

The WSVEF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation dedicated to enhancing the quality of public
education within our community by securing funding for curriculum enhancement and
investment in our teachers. Check out wsvef.org to get involved, donate or learn more.
