🚨 A Historic Opportunity to Leave Your Legacy
The Sterling Schools Foundation is proud to announce a $1 million matching challenge for our Leave A Legacy Campaign.

For the next 12 months, every eligible gift, pledge, and planned gift commitment made to the Leave A Legacy Campaign will be matched dollar-for-dollar by an anonymous Sterling High School alumni family.

That means:
💙 Every Gift.
💛 Every Pledge.
⭐ Every Legacy.
DOUBLED.

There is no minimum gift to participate.

Whether you choose to support the Golden Warrior Recreation & Training Center or other facilities, Centennial Auditorium, or future Foundation initiatives through the Leave A Legacy Campaign, your investment in Sterling students can have twice the impact.

This is one of the most significant philanthropic opportunities in our Foundation's history, and we hope every Golden Warrior, family, business, and friend of Sterling Schools will consider being part of it.
