Dorchester County, S.C. - The Dorchester Two Educational Foundation is set to host its largest annual fundraiser, The Big Event, to support teachers and students in the DD2 school district. The event is presented by Scout Boats and is scheduled for Saturday, March 11, 2023, from 6-10 p.m. at The Ponds Farmhouse, located at 326 Hundred Oaks Pkwy, Summerville, SC.
The event, which is expected to have over 400 attendees, will be a Miami-themed night featuring catering, games, and both silent and live auctions.

Recent Foundation projects include implementing $161,000 worth of hydroponic gardens to create STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics) education opportunities for students with special needs at each DD2 school, using the DonorsChoose matching opportunity to fully fund 134 teachers’ projects, totaling $98,000, connecting 46 educators to almost $77,000 in STEAM grants from the Bosch Community Fund, providing a total of $13,600 in gift cards to all first-year teachers for the 2022-2023 back-to-school season, and treating the 2022 DD2 Teacher of the Year to an all-inclusive trip to Mexico.
