The purpose of the Dolphin Education Fund (DEF) is to supplement the funds available to Lake Whitney Elementary School to offset the cost of medical services as well as other school needs that help to further educate and enrich the children of our community. The DEF is overseen by a Board of Directors composed of parents, teachers, and community members, working together with the Principal and staff at Lake Whitney Elementary School. The DEF will maintain a segregated account at the Foundation for Orange County Public Schools, available only for Lake Whitney Elementary School; it is tax deductible to the full extent of the law as a contribution to a 501©3 organization with transparency and full disclosure.
