A record $110,000 raised through GROOVE Your Way house parties
Saturday, August 29th, Katy ISD Education Foundation presented its annual GROOVE fundraiser, reimagined. Guests were invited to host their friends in parties of 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10, and for an online silent auction and a live broadcast celebration centered around Katy ISD teacher innovation. GROOVE Your Way boasts the highest guest count and most funds raised, with more than $110,000 raised for the Inspiring Imagination teacher grant program. Participants received grab and go style dinner from Whiskey Cake, and tuned in to a program featuring Katy ISD Superintendent, Dr. Ken Gregorski, Houston Texan, Cullen Gillaspia, Katy ISD Namesakes and more.
All proceeds from GROOVE Your Way benefit the Foundation and its Inspiring Imagination teacher grant program. The Katy ISD Education Foundation celebrated a spectacular milestone in May 2020 with over $2 million awarded in its first eight years of Inspiring Imagination teacher grants. GROOVE plays a key role in reaching that milestone, and will continue to garner much-needed support as the Foundation’s grant program expands.
