Organizers of the Burbank Educational Foundation’s State of the Schools breakfast have exceeded their $90,000 fundraising goal.

Held at the Castaway restaurant last month, the event’s “90 for 90” campaign sought to raise $1,000 each from 90 donors in celebration of Burbank Unified’s 90th anniversary.

School board member Charlene Tabet said last week the foundation ultimately raised $100,000, with the money going to support a variety of academic initiatives in Burbank schools.

“We’re excited to do the next one,” Tabet said. “There will be a next one.”
