Cypress-Fairbanks ISD raised almost $500,000 during the CFISD Livestock Show and Sale, held Jan. 29-31 at the CFISD Exhibit Center.
Amid hurricane recovery and a recent economic downturn, the community displayed an overwhelming amount of generosity in the live auction, freezer sale and additional monetary contributions to students.
The Premium Sale (live auction) raised $291,350, while the Freezer Sale (animals not placing high enough for the live auction) garnered $126,597. CFISD has received an additional $78,483.25 in contributions to students—and are continuing to accept donations through Friday, Feb. 6. The total currently stands at $496,430.25.
“It’s a tribute to the fact that the community is doing everything they can to support the school district and the students in a time that is difficult for many people,” said Denise Kubecka, secondary technology applications and business coordinator.
