Johnson Development will be the title sponsor for the Lamar Educational Awards Foundation’s (L.E.A.F.) largest annual fundraiser Men Who Cook 2019, set for Feb. 16 at Safari Texas Ranch.

“We are so thankful to have Johnson Development as the presenting sponsor for 2019,” said Chip Sutton, L.E.A.F. board president. “Their enthusiastic support of the students in our school district and of the area’s overall economy shows their commitment to our community.” Johnson Development has three neighborhoods in Lamar CISD, Cross Creek Ranch, Jordan Ranch and The Veranda.

Proceeds from the evening will be used by L.E.A.F. to support ideas and classroom projects proposed by Lamar CISD teachers that would otherwise go unfunded.  L.E.A.F. also offers scholarships to graduating Lamar CISD seniors and to paraprofessionals working on their teaching certificates.

For information on how you can become a sponsor, volunteer or even become a cook for the event, please contact Janice Knight at (832)-223-0334,  www.leafgrants.org, or like us at Lamar Educational Awards Foundation on Facebook.
