Petaluma Chapter of Realtors has stepped up to the plate this week with a $5,000 check to provide partial funding of the continuation of Petaluma Educational Foundation’s first Major Impact Grant Program: The Petaluma Wetlands Association Third Grade Science Program.
“We are so grateful that the real estate community in Petaluma has chosen to support our program in the schools,” says Coordinator of the PWA 3rd Grade Science Program in the Schools, Helen Heal. “Our school program helps all third graders in Petaluma and in the Petaluma River watershed learn of the importance and wonder of local wetlands. Every year our volunteer docents bring almost 1,000 children and hundreds of parents and teachers into the wetlands for science education, and it is wonderful to have such community support to do this.”Learn more about the PWA 3rd Grade Science Program by viewing the following video clip shot at Shollenberger Park this Spring:
Over $53,000 will have been donated to a variety of community programs and causes by the Petaluma Chapter of Realtors this year alone. Monies are raised at an annual golf tournament and seasonal fundraisers and weekly brokers' tours in which agents from brokerages throughout the city actively participate.
