Nonprofit organizations play a huge part in impacting your local community, and supporting the ones you care about is a great way to give back. At the Cherokee County Educational Foundation, we're all about supporting our students and staff of the CCSD, promoting teaching, learning, and celebrating their achievements.
If you are looking for more ways to support CCEF and the students and staff of the CCSD but are not able to make a financial donation, don't worry; there are plenty of ways you can support CCEF just by doing things you do in your normal routine, or by making time to get out to our events to have fun and volunteer!
Show Your Support
Did you know that one of the best ways you can support any nonprofit, and especially CCEF, is by doing things you might already do like sharing posts on social media or even shopping online? That's right, CCEF is one of the many nonprofit organizations that uses Amazon Smile, which is an incredibly useful tool that donates 0.5% of your purchase total on Amazon to the group of your choice.
Whether you're getting supplies for school or even doing some holiday shopping later in the year, Amazon Smile is a great way to give back. Follow these instructions in your web browser to get started:
- Go to https://smile.amazon.com/.
- Sign in with your normal Amazon account. You do not have to create a new account for AmazonSmile.
- Under "Pick Your Own Charitable Organization," type "Cherokee County Educational Foundation" in the box.
- Click "Select" next to the option for "Cherokee County Educational Foundation" in Canton, Georgia.
- Select "Yes" and then "Start Shopping."
If you follow CCEF on social media, you can take part in one of the simplest ways to support us – by sharing! If you want to stay up to date on the latest from us, or if you know someone who should, sharing posts with your friends and family is always welcomed. Check us out on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Show Up for a Good Cause
Another amazing way to show support for CCEF is just by showing up. Attending events and helping increase the turnout will always be a great way to show you care. Take things a step further and consider volunteering when opportunities are available, annual events like the Chick-fil-a Moo've It 5K, the "Celebration of Education" Gala, and CCEF Golf Classics are just a few of the ways volunteers can help make a difference.
You can even support CCEF and all our amazing educators by getting out to an Atlanta Hawks game with your loved ones this fall. The Atlanta Hawks just announced this year's dates for their Educator Appreciation Nights; tickets purchased will include $10 of food and beverage credits, as well as a t-shirt while supplies last. CCEF will get a percentage of each ticket sold!
