2013 PROCEEDS
This year's proceeds will again benefit the museum and Escuela Jorge Washington included towards the installation of a 5 kw solar panel electrical system on Escuela Jorge Washington (named after President George Washington. The project is being pursued in support of the efforts of the Fundación San Ramón Carbono Neutral to have San Ramón become the first carbon neutral canton in Costa Rica. The Carbon Neutral Foundation and the Municipalidad de San Ramón are partners in this project. It is believed that Escuela Jorge Washington will be one of the first public schools in Costa Rica to install a solar panel system which is projected to reduce the school’s electrical consumption up to 50 percent and save the school up to $100,000 over the life of the system).
