Every Gift Matters
With Rumson’s loss of State funding in recent years coupled with State-imposed school budget caps, our mission is more critical than ever.
Any gift is greatly appreciated, no matter how large or small. Thank you for your support over the years, this year, and in the future.
With gratitude, REF Board
