What makes Manhattan Beach so wonderful? Is it the beach? The way we know

our neighbors? The quality of our public schools? Our willingness to volunteer

wherever and whenever we’re needed? Somehow the stars have aligned, and in

our little town, we have found a way to work together to take the District with the

LOWEST state funding in California, into a model for what public education can

be. This is not something that is achieved overnight. It is a labor of love, and takes

countless volunteer hours each year, a willingness to invest in our schools, and

the vision of what our District can and should be.

Tonight we come together to celebrate our Manhattan Beach community.

A community that has proven, again and again, that our children are our priority.

Together we have funded programs that enhance the lives of all 6,800 students

in our District.

The funds we raise tonight will help to preserve teachers, hands-on science,

technology, writing programs, smaller class sizes, music, elementary PE,

individualized counseling, librarians, and so much more. With our collective

investment in the Endowment, we are working to ensure that our community

will have GREAT SCHOOLS FOREVER.

The Wine Auction would not be possible without the contributions of so many.

We thank the Wine Auction Committee and the volunteers who have been

working tirelessly for months to help make this event a success. We are grateful

to the restaurants and wineries for showcasing their culinary offerings, as well

as our table sponsors, event underwriters, silent and live auction donors, and the

Wine Advisory Board.

We are truly grateful to the Manhattan Country Club for their incredible

generosity, year after year. The Wine Auction simply wouldn’t exist without their

partnership. We’d also like to thank our Founding Sponsor Chevron, as well as

Belkin and Moss Adams, for their significant investment in our community, our

schools, and our children.

Finally, we thank YOU — our parents, business partners and community members

— for being here tonight. The Wine Auction is our opportunity to come together,

have a great time and support our schools. We thank you for your partnership in

this tremendously important endeavor.

Sincerely,

There are Four Main Factors that Impact our District’s Funding:

1) California Funding for Education is Inadequate. California is 44th in the nation

in school funding, and 50th in both student to teacher and student to counselor

ratios. When compared to states like New York and New Jersey with average per

pupil funding above $20,000, our average funding does not meet the needs of

our state’s students.

2) We are a Revenue Limit District. Only a small portion of our property taxes support

education. The formula to allocate property tax dollars is based on spending levels

in the 1970s. At that time, MBUSD was a K-8 district and allocated a small portion

of property taxes to schools. As a result, MBUSD is a “Revenue Limit” district and

does not retain property taxes. “Basic Aid” districts, such as Palo Alto, Laguna Beach

and Beverly Hills, funded education at a higher level in the 70s, so they retain excess

property taxes. Most of the funding for our schools is supplemented by the state.

3) We Do Not Have a Parcel Tax. Unlike the other highly ranked districts listed below,

we do not have a parcel tax that supplements state funding. A parcel tax is generally

a flat tax assessed per parcel for ongoing educational expenses, such as teachers

and enrichment. All of the districts below have education foundations that provide

anywhere from $1M-$6M of funding each year, in addition to their parcel tax

revenue. Palo Alto and Laguna are also Basic Aid districts, and retain property taxes.

Your support of the Manhattan Beach Education Foundation provides our students

with programs that inspire learning, enrich teaching, and promote innovation and

academic excellence in the Manhattan Beach public schools.

In 2016/17, our community funded 71 educators who bring our children music,

hands-on science, physical education, reading fundamentals, libraries, electives,

STEM classes, and Writers Workshop. Our children benefit from a robust

counseling program and learn in smaller classes. These kinds of opportunities

take more than money; they take dedication and partnership from all community

stakeholders.

Impressive as these numbers are, they only begin to convey the sheer magnitude

of what our students receive as a result of your investment in MBEF.

Many of our District’s programs and positions would be eliminated if not for

the generous support of our community. Thank you for your partnership.

PUBLIC SCHOOL: WHY PRIVATE DONATIONS? You have heard again and again that funding for our schools is inadequate.

But few people understand WHY.

4) Our Student Population Does Not Qualify for Supplemental Funding

Through LCFF. While in recent years funding for education in California has

improved, it is important to note that most of this funding goes to schools

with large numbers of high need students – those classified as low-income,

English learners and foster youth. Of ALL school districts in California, MBUSD

has the LOWEST number of students who qualify for supplemental funding.

Local Control Funding Formula is an important step to strengthen our state’s

schools, but funding in California remains inadequate for all students.

For All These Reasons, MBEF is the Only District-Wide Resource Available to

Fund Teachers and Enrichment. The MBEF Endowment provides an alternative

mechanism through which our community schools can achieve long term

sustainability. Your support of MBEF and the Endowment is critical to the quality

of our public schools.

Please join us in contributing to the MBEF Endowment. We have Great Schools Now. Your gift will ensure we have Great Schools Forever.

WHO SHOULD GIVE?

Parents. Alumni. Parents of Alumni. Grandparents. Business owners. Longtime

residents. New arrivals. Anyone who believes in the power of an excellent public

school education. Strong schools build strong communities. They help protect

property values and strengthen community ties. Our schools are an integral part

of what we love about Manhattan Beach.

IMPRESSIVE RESULTS

Despite limited funding from the state, MBUSD outcomes speak for themselves.

MBUSD is among the top K-12 school districts statewide and our students gain

access to a rich and diverse curriculum. We host California Teachers of the Year

(2014 and 2015), award-winning Model UN and Theater programs, Grammy

award-winning Mira Costa Music program, Distinguished, Gold, Blue, and Green

Ribbon Schools…the list goes on.

There is no question that our schools and our students excel because we have an

engaged community that is willing to invest time and money into our children’s

education and future.

HELP THE ENDOWMENT REACH $20 MILLION BY 2020

Please join us as we build our Endowment to $20 million by 2020. At this level, the

Endowment will disburse approximately $1M to our schools every year in perpetuity;

regardless of fluctuations in the economy or shortfalls in Sacramento. Our goal is

to reach a point where the annual return on investment is enough to make up for the

instability of public school funding.

THE POWER OF COMPOUNDING IS SIGNIFICANT

Thirty one years ago, MBEF established an Endowment to provide a consistent,

sustainable source of funding for Manhattan Beach public schools. Twenty seven

years later (2014), the Endowment crossed the $10M mark and made its first

distribution of $116,000.

In 2017, our Endowment disbursed $500,000 to our schools.

It took 27 years for the Endowment to reach $10M, during which time the Endowment

did not disburse funds. It took only three years to get from $10M to $15M, and during

this period disbursed nearly $1M to our schools. That’s the power of the Endowment.

Welcome to another fabulous Manhattan Wine Auction!The Wine Advisory Board proudly supports the Manhattan Beach Education

Foundation via the Manhattan Wine Auction. The WAB, as we’re known, takes

the communal feeling of sharing a great bottle of wine with friends and extends

it further. If you’re interested in donating to future Wine Auctions and would like

to join the WAB, we would love to have you.

The wines donated to tonight’s event represent years, even decades, of collecting

and cellaring...but we all agree that great bottles are meant to be shared. Our

donors repeatedly reached for cellar treasures to bring hundreds of bottles here

tonight, valued at nearly $200,000.

Tonight, we gather around a glass (or two...or...) of wine and celebrate the success

of Manhattan Beach public schools. The hard work of MBEF, our donors and the

many volunteers, make MBUSD one of California’s most successful districts,

despite being one of the lowest funded in the state.

We are always happy to open our cellars to share wine with our friends and

neighbors, especially for the benefit of our children and the community. Cheers!

Please browse the pages that follow without guilt – it’s for the kids, after all!

Ralph Canada, Chair, Wine Advisory Board

the greater sense of verve and overall fresh-ness that is such a signature of the 2004…

MBEF ENDOWMENT PADDLE RAISE10

HELP THE ENDOWMENT REACH $20 MILLION BY 2020.

THE BENEFITS OF AN ENDOWMENT

Much of the success of our schools depends on the tremendous support from our community. Each year MBEF grants over $6M for educational programs throughout our District, most of which comes from annual donations from parents. When we look to the future of our schools, increasing the MBEF Endowment has significant advantages.

• The Endowment creates an ongoing source of income. Because our endowment provides a reliable source of income in perpetuity, MBEF can count on annual distributions to support grants, regardless of fluctuations in the economy or shortfalls in Sacramento. By growing the Endowment to $20M by 2020, it will disburse approximately $1M to our schools every year.

• The Endowment relieves fundraising pressure on our Annual Appeal. Donations to the Annual Appeal have been the primary source of funding for providing enrichment programs in our schools. It is challenging to grow the Annual Appeal to meet increasing demand and costs. The Endowment provides additional support for MBEF’s annual grants.

• The Endowment upholds our donors’ values and priorities. Our Endowment provides assurance that programs that are important to our donors will continue for generations to come. As priorities change, so may the programs, but the funding will always be there.

Please join us in this important endeavor and raise your paddle tonight!

STEAM at the Wine Auction: Schrader Cellars, TUSK, Elio Grasso, Araujo Estate and Memento Mori. Included are four bottles of Schrader Cellars in their original wooden case. TUSK might be the hardest Napa wine to find anywhere. These are Araujo’s last two vintages of Eisele Vineyard wine since the estate was sold last year. Speaking of Elio Grasso’s 2008 Barolos, critic Antonio Galloni said, “Both Baroli are drop dead gorgeous”. Memento Mori continues to break away from their peers with the 2012 and 2013 vintages.
