Meet Rambo, the Southeast Polk Education Foundation Steer

On March 6, 2015, the Southeast Polk Education Foundation will host the inaugural Black and Gold Fundraising Gala at Prairie Meadows. According to the Southeast Polk website, "The mission of the Southeast Polk Education Foundation (SEPEF) is to engage and focus local, regional, and national support to enhance opportunities for Southeast Polk students, PK through 12th grade. The foundation works with the district to develop and implement the securing of funds to support district initiatives. The Southeast Polk Education Foundation is the only funding organization with the unique mission of supporting Southeast Polk Schools. Our efforts involve corporations, foundations, civic organizations, professional associations, school alumni, and other concerned individuals. We will assist private donors in making informed decisions that will enhance educational opportunities for Southeast Polk students."

The Black and Gold Gala features a live auction, from which the proceeds will benefit Southeast Polk's educational programs. Included in the auction is Rambo, a steer who is currently residing at the Timmins farm near Altoona. Check out Rambo in action as he enjoys a fresh straw bale.

By attending the Gala and bidding on Rambo, you can help our students while also filling your freezer with tasty Iowa beef. Tickets to the Gala are available now. I hope to see you March 6 at Prairie Meadows!
