FOUNDATION PROJECTS
Each year, the Foundation chooses a worthy cause to support with the funds raised during the fundraisers for that year. The Fund A Need is chosen based upon the level of impact it will have for the largest populations of students at Canyon.
Our largest fundraising project to date was the Canyon gym renovation. Over the past 3 years, our entire community came together to raise $300,000 dollars toward the gym renovation. We are honored to have partnered with the school district to complete funding for this $1.29 million dollar project.
After more than 50 years, it once again serves as a source of pride and a reflection of the Excellence at Canyon.
