Your donations matter. Here’s how.

Every year in October, the Dailard School Foundation rolls out the annual Dolphin Pledge Drive. Money raised supplements city, state and district funds to provide enriching materials, technology and programs that would not be possible without your contributions.

The 2023/2024 Pledge Drive has now closed, but it was a huge success! We raised close to $27,000, and every dollar is already hard at work.
