39 Years of the Run for Education, 40 Years of WCLEF Investing in our Schools The Woodcliff Lake Education Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 not-for-profit with a mission to provide innovative and creative educational programs that fall outside of the traditional school budget. It has raised over $1 Million for Dorchester and Woodcliff Middle School to fund grants requested by the teachers and the administration. From innovative classroom technology and STEAM learning spaces to digital libraries, arts education, musical supplies, entrepreneurship programs, wellness initiatives, and flexible learning environments, every dollar raised through the Run for Education stays right here in our schools—helping today's students become tomorrow's leaders. Whether you're an experienced runner or just starting out, this is the perfect opportunity to challenge yourself, meet new people and have fun. Thank you for helping us continue this tradition of giving back to our schools and strengthening our community. We can't wait to see you at the finish line!
