The goal for #RiponRoar Days is to inspire at least 226 donors to give - thatโs one gift in honor of every staff member in the Ripon Area School District.
#RiponRoar Days is a campaign to celebrate the Ripon Area School District (RASD) and donate to Ripon Education Foundation, Inc. The First Annual #RiponRoar Days runs Monday-Friday, November 16-20, 2020.
Money raised during #RiponRoar Days will directly benefit the Program Fund which supports RASD educators through grants to provide additional classroom supplies or experiences to students. The Program Fund also provides tutoring scholarships and other grants that expand student learning within RASD.
Ripon Education Foundation, Inc. is an independent, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation managed by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of community members. The Foundation funds grants and scholarships to benefit staff and students of the Ripon Area School District.

We did it! We hit our goal of 226 donors! THANK YOU and way to ROAR Ripon! Keep sharing with your family, friends, and alumni classmates to see just how loud we can ROAR for our students and teachers this week! We have 15 hours to go!

With just over 26 hours to go, we need just 19 more donors to reach our goal! Keep sharing with your friends, family, and classmates to help get us there! #RiponRoar #RiponRoarDays
554 days ago by Kim DownsLet's see how many states we make glow orange on our donor map.
Do you know any Ripon Tigers in the states that aren't orange? Give them a nudge so we can fill it in!

We are currently more than 50% of the way to our goal of 226 donors!
Charlie Berens, host of da Manitowoc Minute, wants to remind you all there is still time to make your donation count! No gift is too big or too small!
Please share this with someone who loves Ripon and the Manitowoc Minute and help us reach our goal. Letโs hear your ROAR and #KeepErMovin! #RiponRoar #RiponRoarDays
555 days ago by Kim DownsWe are two days in and already #RiponRoar has some momentum going! We have received 97 gifts, and weโre 42% of the way to our goal! Including our Game Changer contributions, those 97 gifts have accounted for $12,650 total dollars!
Each ROAR counts! Let's keep sharing and see if we can surpass 113 donors, halfway to our goal before the day ends!

Let's get to 226 donors to support more teachers like Mr. Nehls!
The Ripon Education Foundation funded a grant request to supply enough yoga mats for each K-2 student. The 300 mats are being used in the classroom by Mr. Nehls during Phy. Ed. classes and by the classroom teachers during some of their in-class activities. They provide a great visual for our youngest students as they learn personal space and distancing. The mats are a great addition especially during this time of COVID.
Your support this week will fund teacher requests that benefit RASD students. #RiponRoar #RiponRoarDay

Thank you to our Game Changers who have provided matching funds to inspire the Ripon community to give back this week. Game Changers will match every 25 donors with a $2,500 gift to the Ripon Education Foundation, and they've already released $5,000! Let's see if we can all share with our networks and get the campaign to 50% of our goal by Wednesday!


The Ripon Education Foundation funded a โLifetime Love of Literatureโ grant for Mrs. Johnsonโs and Ms. Geigerโs 3rd-grade classrooms during the 2019-2020 school year! This grant was used to update the classroom library with new book titles, as well as replacements of well-loved and worn-out copies of others. The students helped select the new titles and were so excited to get their hands on them. Their hands were so full; they couldnโt even hold them all! Your support this week will fund teacher requests that benefit RASD students. #RiponRoar #RiponRoarDays
