Reavis Rapid Response Fund Supports Local Hospitals and Restaurants
School District 220 Superintendent Dr. Daniel Riordan began an initiative in April to show the district’s appreciation and admiration for all of the people working at local hospitals—and support local restaurants at the same time.
He asked that every staff member consider donating any amount of money they could afford to a special account called the “Reavis Rapid Response Fund.” The money raised would go towards gift cards from Burbank restaurants and food establishments. These gift cards/certificates were delivered to local hospitals: Christ Medical Center, Palos Community Hospital, and Little Company of Mary Hospital.
The initial goal of $7,000 was surpassed in days, and, after a two-week donation period, the Reavis staff generously gave more $12,000 to the effort!
