VCSF Announces the Big Idea Competition
The Voorheesville Community and School Foundation has been involved in many impactful projects these last few years. We helped build a bridge on the rail trail, fly an Icarus to the edge of the atmosphere, erect community pavilions, and construct a playground.
Each of these projects had one common element - community members who had an idea and the drive to bring their projects to life.
VCSF knows the next Big Idea for our community is right around the corner, just waiting to shine. The Foundation’s Big Idea Competition seeks projects that will have meaningful and wide-scale impact and serve VCSF’s mission to enhance the educational, cultural, athletic and organizational opportunities of the students and communities primarily of the Voorheesville Central School District.
So dream BIG, think BIG & plan BIG and submit an application for your BIG idea!
