In honor of its 20th anniversary, SBEF recognized three community leaders who have championed education and are legacies of Spring Branch Independent School District.
Doug Foshee, a graduate of Spring Branch High School, received the Spring Branch Independent School District Distinguished Alumni Award. Barry Abrams, a Westchester High School alum, was honored with the Spring Branch Education Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award. Andrea White, who graduated from Memorial High School, accepted the Susan & Larry Kellner Champion for Education Award.
“These recipients personify the awards’ emphasis of learning, achieving and sharing,” said Katherine Dawson. The event raised $160,000; all proceeds benefit Spring Branch Education Foundation and will be used for programs or scholarships that enhance the education for every SBISD student.
The evening’s Raise the Paddle event added $6700 to the Foundation’s Fund for the Future Endowment.
