FOUR WAYS TO SUPPORT OUR SCHOOLS AND PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS

The Ardsley Education Foundation (AEF), a 501 (c) (3), not-for-profit-charity, was founded to ensure educational excellence for the Ardsley Schools. By the generosity of donors like yourself, the AEF has been able to support cutting-edge technology and out-of-the box programing that are beyond the scope of the schools’ ordinary budgets. These efforts have enhanced the experience, both academically and culturally, of all Ardsley students.

Our annual fundraiser, the AEF Gala, will be held on Saturday, March 25, 2017, at the Coliseum in White Plains, New York.Our fundraising efforts will kick-off with an online auction starting in February. By supporting the AEF, your business has the potential to reach approximately 7000 community members from areas within our district: Ardsley, Scarsdale, Hartsdale, White Plains, Dobbs Ferry, Hastings, and beyond. We hope you will consider supporting our schools.
