A Brighter Future Ahead
The Warrior Run Community Education Foundation's First Century Fund provides funds to significantly maximize the impact the WR education campus has on WR students and community residents. The purpose of this campaign is to challenge our WR community to contribute $1,500,000 to help realize the brightest WRSD future possible. This is a once-in-a-generation fundraising effort to ensure that the FIRST CENTURY of Warrior Run’s existence (1955-2055) ends strong and with pride.

Grant Update: September 2025
In the fall of 2023, WRCEF awarded an Innovation Grant to art teacher Brett Morgan to create an indoor mural with elementary students. From K-6 artists painting on various small-sized canvases, this 8' x 9' framed mural now hangs in the "grand concourse" of the WR Elementary School.
Will this catch your eye upon entering the school? FOR SURE!
We thank contributors to WRCEF for making ideas like Brett's become a lasting memory.
