Mark your calendars for The Maggie & Amos Foundation Family Event! About the Foundation: The Maggie & Amos Foundation in honor of our former coworker and friend, Maggie Rosko and her son Amos Meyer, who were killed in their homes in 2016. Since our initiation we have provided over $27,000 in grants to local educators in our surrounding schools, as well as to local libraries. We have also provided scholarships to individuals pursuing degrees in education. Last year we were forced to cancel our Infinity Event due to the COVID pandemic. In order to continue to provide these important funds to our area educators, we are counting on proceeds made from this year's Infinity Event. Our Foundation is near and dear to the staff of Chana Education Center, as well as to the many students who had Ms. Meyer as their teacher. We would appreciate the support of our local educators so that we can continue to grow a legacy in her name. You can find more information regarding our Foundation on our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/maggieandamos
