The San Juan Public School Foundation is holding its annual phone-a-thon to raise money for local public schools on Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 17 and 18 from 4-8 p.m.

“Our children deserve better than what the state offers in school funding,” says Rich Meenan, president of the San Juan Public School Foundation.

The annual phone-a-thon, along with the business partnership program, raised $100,000 in 2015, “and we are hoping to exceed that amount in 2016 because we are an island community generous in spirit” says Meenan. People interested in volunteering at the phone-a-thon, or making a donation, should contact Nancy Young at 317-1755 or nancy@sanjuanislands.com
