Lake Tahoe Education

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The Lake Tahoe Educational Foundation (LTEF) recently wrapped up their 2020 Hawaii Condo raffle and the winner is Jordan Richie of South Lake Tahoe.

Richie, an athletic trainer at Barton Performance Center and the Head Athletic Trainer at South Tahoe High School, had his ticket pulled by Brooklyn Pakes.

The annual raffle pulled in $8,000 for LTEF to use for their annual grants. LTEF typically allocates between $50,000 and $75,000 for educational projects in Lake Tahoe Unified School District where local students benefit from every dollar donated.

Many people donate both money and auction items to the Soroptimist of Tahoe Sierra club for their annual Elegant Evening which occurs on Saturday, April 21. What many don't know is where those donations go. There was question recently in the community about donations, so the club wanted to clear up any misunderstandings.

The club recently created a diagram to better explain where each penny goes as they don't have must left over funds after they issue scholarships, grants and other forms of financial support.

Last year’s Elegant Evening funds went to provide:

The League to Save Lake Tahoe is updating their website and they are looking for volunteers to help them accomplish this feat.

They need volunteers to help move their web content from the old platform to the new one. They will have two fun, and social, nights with beer, pizza and wine in exchange for some assistance.

As part of their mission to give back to the community and protect the environment, Vail Resorts gave away 49 grants to Lake Tahoe area groups during a ceremony on Tuesday at Heavenly Valley.

Twenty-eight area nonprofits were awarded $85,000 in donations from the 2013 American Century Championship. In a ceremony on Thursday, the Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority distributed the checks through funds raised during the annual celebrity golf tournament.
