Announcing
THE WOODLAND
HILLS FOUNDATION’S
CHOCOLATE AND
DIAMONDS AFFAIR
T
he Woodland Hills Foundation is proud to announce our
Eleventh Annual Chocolate & Diamonds Affair, to be held
on Saturday, February 8, 2020 at the Edgewood Country
Club. The evening, which welcomed over 200 attendees in 2019,
will include a formal dinner, an exciting silent auction, a wine-pull,
live music and dancing courtesy of local band Teresa Hawthorne &
Legacee, and a chance to win the evening’s pièces de résistance, a
diamond provided by William Penn Jewelers.
The mission of the Woodland Hills Foundation is to support
and enrich the School District by strengthening, expanding and
creating new experiences and innovations within our schools.
This is achieved through providing student scholarships; hosting
community events; volunteerism; and Mini Grants and our Dream
Book (providing modest cash awards or awards for supplies and
other innovations to teachers, in order to enhance the learning
experience).
Each year, we raise much-needed funds during the Chocolate
and Diamonds Affair to provide support for these programs and
services. Your support means that we can continue to serve the
district’s teachers, school administrators and students.
We are currently in the process of seeking sponsors and silent
auction donors for this important event. Donors will be listed on
the Woodland Hills Foundation website, will be included in donor-
specific posts on our Facebook page, included in our mail blasts
and listed in an upcoming issue of In Woodland Hills Magazine.
For a full list of benefits, or to purchase tickets or make a donation,
please visit www.WoodlandHillsFoundation.com.
The Chocolate & Diamonds Affair is the perfect opportunity
to celebrate our past successes and we hope that we can count
on your support as we raise a glass to the future. Thank you in
advance for your support of the Woodland Hills Foundation and
our mission.

Julia Ann McCool Scholarship
We recognize the difficulties
today’s students face in
finding financial assistance while entering the career paths
of their choice. The Woodland Hills Foundation is proud
to help deserving students of the Woodland Hills School
District achieve their full potential. Over 65 scholarships
totaling $100,000, have been awarded for secondary
education including
technical, vocational, and
baccalaureate degrees.
Ana Karas, winner of
the 2019 Julia Ann McCool
Scholarship wrote, “I just
wanted to thank you for
making my scholarship
possible. I declined two full
tuition scholarship offers
[so that I could] go to the
school of my dreams, and
desperately needed some
outside scholarships to make the cost more affordable. The
generous Julia Anne McCool scholarship made that possible
and gave me confidence in my decision.”
