Rick Forristall spent several years volunteering in his grandchildren’s elementary and preschool classrooms. During those times, Rick observed how teachers were constantly needing the basic necessities for their classrooms: tissues, dry-erase markers, paper, pencils, vis-a-vis markers–and the list goes on.
Rick also has volunteered his time in several school fundraisers and has purchased many, many items from his own children and his grandchildren through their school fundraisers.
With this in mind, Rick has developed a unique school fundraising program he calls “Edvocator.” This is a free online fundraiser that strives to help schools and school organizations raise needed money. Edvocator is unique.
