Katy ISD Campuses and Area Businesses Raise Funds for Teacher Grants
The Katy ISD Education Foundation recently celebrated its 9th year of raising teacher grants funds through its Limelight Run, an annual event that aligns with the area’s Katy Half-Marathon, 5K, 1K event. This year, Memorial Hermann Katy hospital partnered with the Education Foundation as the event’s inaugural Presenting Sponsor. Its alliance with the Education Foundation expands Memorial Hermann’s support of Katy ISD through the district’s Partners in Education and other programs, complementing an enduring partnership benefiting both Katy ISD students and the teachers who lead them.
This year’s Limelight Run team participants featured Katy ISD campuses including WoodCreek, Mayde Creek and Memorial Parkway Junior High schools along with Campbell and Nottingham Elementary campuses. Lauran DeForke led the event’s corps of individual fundraisers. The Limelight Run joins GROOVE, Dine Out to Donate and Fireflies & Foodtrucks as the Foundation’s annual landmark community events.
