Great news for our World Golf Village neighbors and other St. Johns County residents! Davidson Realty recently announced the creation of their new Davidson Cares Foundation and Program to support St. Johns County schools, including Wards Creek Elementary, Mill Creek Elementary, Palencia Elementary School, and Pacetti Bay Middle School. The foundation will be funded by proceeds from real estate sales along with great local fundraising events, like their first event at Mile Marker Brewery on Friday, November 9th! It’s great to see local businesses coming together to support our schools!

Each of the four local schools above will receive educational grants between $500 and $1,000 in support of one winning idea. Additionally, each school will receive a bonus grant based on the amount of total school votes from the contest. Teachers, principals, staff and involved parents are encouraged to submit grant applications between now and October 31, 2012. Voting will open to the public on November 9th, so make sure to check out all the great videos beforehand! Grants will be awarded in mid-February to allow for schools to use the grant during the current school year or next.

Davidson Realty President Sherry Davidson says, “Davidson Cares gives us the opportunity to donate our time, resources and business proceeds in support of our community.” And, the community thanks you!
