Nominate Your Child's School to Receive a $5,000 Grant!

We were so excited to hear (just in time for the new school year) Raley’s Family of Fine Stores is partnering with Unilever to provide $25,000 in grants to local schools. Through the Raley’s Reach program, the regional, family-operated grocer is once again placing the money in the hands of the community to determine which schools will receive grants. Through participant nominations and votes, five $5,000 grants will be awarded by region to K-12 schools to benefit their back-to-school needs.

From Aug. 17 - Sept. 2, local PTAs, booster clubs, parents and community members are invited to nominate a deserving school to receive a $5,000 grant at www.raleys.com/reach. Then, beginning Sept. 6-23, it will be up to the online community to log on and cast their votes for the school that they would like to see benefit from one of the grants. Winners will be announced Sept. 30.

There's not much time left, so be sure and vote quick!

The five regions are defined by geographic location:

Region 1 – Northern Region (Nevada): Carson City, Churchill, Douglas, Elko, Humboldt and Washoe counties
Region 2 – Foothill Region (California): Butte, Shasta, Siskiyou, Nevada, Sutter and Tehama counties
Region 3 – Greater Sacramento Region (California): Amador, Calaveras, El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Solano and Yolo counties
Region 4 – Central Valley Region (California): Madera, Merced, San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties
Region 5 – Greater Bay Region (California): Alameda, Contra Costa, Mendocino, Monterey, Napa, San Benito, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and Sonoma counties

The top school with the most votes in each Reach-Region will receive $5,000 to put toward their stated back-to-school need. Whether it’s filling the school library with new books, providing access to new physical education equipment or purchasing art supplies for classrooms – the possibilities are endless!

The Raley’s Reach program was first launched in May of 2010 in honor of Raley’s 75th Anniversary. To date, Raley’s Reach has awarded more than $90,000 in grants to 15 community projects throughout Northern California and Nevada.
