Verde Energy Affinity Program
Do you want to save 10-15% on your energy bill, earn a $50 cash rebate and support your school PTA/Booster Club and the EBEF at absolutely no cost?
The East Brunswick Education Foundation (EBEF), along with the PTAs of each of the East Brunswick Schools and the Arts and Athletic Boosters, are proud to partner with Verde Energy USA to offer homeowners a chance to choose an alternative to their electrical utility (PSE&G or JCP&L) to supply their electricity.  Verde has made an offer to donate 2% of the electric supply portion of the utility bill for each home that chooses to switch to Verde in this program for the next 3 years.
Just download a descriptive brochure and go to www.lowcostpower.com or call 800-388-3862 to enroll. Choose the Marketing code for the school PTA or group of your choice. Once you enroll (with no contract), you will be billed and receive service from your current utility. You will just have a lower monthly bill and receive a $50 rebate.

Consider a Gift of Music...88 Keys Purchase-A-Key-Fund
Whether it is a school concert, community event, or a well know artist, the East Brunswick Performing Arts Center (EBPAC) at Hammarkskjold Middle School must contain a professional quality grand piano worthy of the amazing talents that will perform within its walls.
Partial funding has been provided through a grant by the East Brunswick Education Foundation. Your donation of $150 to the Purchase-A-Key-Fund of the Foundation will bring the quality sound of piano music to the East Brunswick educational community for years to come.  Monies raised beyond the cost of the piano will be used to help fund cultural events at the EBPAC.
The names of all donors will be placed on a prominent and permanent commemorative plaque at the entrance to the Performing Arts Center.
Your donation to the Purchase-A-Key-Fund is tax deductible, as the EBEF is a 501(c)3 charitable organization. Download a contribution form
