TISD Foundation Seeks to Raise $250,000

TYLER — The Tyler ISD Foundation sets a goal of $250,000 for this year’s campaign — with over $109,000 raised pre-campaign. Officials say that’s the most raised prior to the campaign in the foundation’s 20-year history. The current fundraising effort officially kicked off Thursday with a luncheon at Willow Brook Country Club. Officials say another $20,000 was collected during the event, putting the total at $129,000 — more than half the goal. The foundation supports school district activities and programs that are not typically funded with taxpayer dollars.
