“With a continuous need for additional funding for our schools, CEF is committed to developing community partnerships within Carlsbad. Since the first community day in 2004 and the first ‘Celebrate Carlsbad Day’ in 2008, the generous support of LEGOLAND has allowed us to fund district-wide science programming critical to the success of the 11,000 students we serve,” said Michelle Ginn, chief executive officer of the Foundation. “Since LEGOLAND opened its gates in Carlsbad in 1999, they have consistently embraced the Foundation’s efforts to raise much-needed funds for the Carlsbad schools. LEGOLAND California’s commitment to education and their partnership with the Foundation has made a tremendous impact on our community and we couldn’t be more appreciative.”
There are sponsorship opportunities available and CEF invites corporations and small businesses to get involved. Sponsorship levels include a check presentation during the two hour live show, a company banner displayed on the stage and numerous other promotional opportunities.
