Join the 1970 Society
The 1970 Society celebrates Sandhills School’s grassroots founding. In 1970 a group of concerned parents gathered their resources and formed the Columbia Reading Foundation to help tutor their children who were very bright, but struggling to learn to read in traditional classrooms.
Become part of the legacy of generosity and support initiated by Sandhills School’s original Founders. Donors that contribute $1,970 or more each fiscal year to the Sandhills School Annual Fund will be recognized as members of the 1970 Society.
Ways to Give
Note: Sandhills School's fiscal year runs July 1 through June 30. If you are making a calendar year-end gift, please be sure your gift is dated and delivered by the last business date in December to allow time for processing and depositing.
