EDUCATiON EXTRAVAGANZA: Teach for America’s 2nd annual gala was a smashing success, raising $1.1 million to support programs and initiatives to expand educational opportunities in local public schools. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan gave the keynote address to a rapt crowd that included sponsors Donald Graham, Bob and Paula Hisaoka and representatives from CapitalSource Charitable Foundation and the Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation. “We invested in TFA because we know the organization is not only training and supporting highly effective teachers for [local] students,” Cafritz Foundation Chairman Calvin Cafritz said, “it’s also about creating leaders for life — students and teachers alike.”
