Panthers for Panels
We are parents, students, teachers, and residents of the Wallingford Swarthmore School District, who are concerned about climate change. We want to take the first step towards reducing our dependency on fossil fuels by privately raising the funds to purchase and install solar panels on our snack bar, the Panther Pit. The money will be used to install 23 panels on the roof and provide interactive ground level educational as well. There will be no cost to the school district. The power generated by the panels will offset power drawn from PECO, thereby lowering the district's utility bill. Our goal is to raise the money, and install the panels in time to run the snack bar on solar power for the 2019 football season. We have the full support and encouragement of the school board. For more information and the history of how we got started go to the WSSD Sustainability Committee page https://www.wssd.org/Page/17

We have had a successful year building community support. So far have raised over $4,000 (community fundraisers are not counted on the gofundme site) mainly from many many small donations.
We now need to expand the effort to host larger events and get larger donations. Fundraisers are in the works for the Spring and Summer and we need your help. Please attend our planning meeting Friday March 9th, 7:00pm at my house 218 Martroy Lane Wallingford

BTW, Panthers for Panels is even closer to reaching the goal than shown here. We have donations from other sources including dozens donating at Strath Haven football games, the Swarthmore Farmers market and at our recent P4P night at 320 Market. Thanks to everyone at 320 Market for an additional $500+ raised!
