Byerschool Foundation

In October 2025, Raynier granted $50,000 to the Byerschool Foundation for the Laurada Fund. Named for the co-founder and heart of the Russell Byers Charter School, Laurada Byers has had to step back from her daily involvement in the life of the school due to her Parkinson’s. She remains Chair of the Byerschool Foundation. A Fund has been created in her honor to provide life changing experiences for the graduates of the Russell Byers Charter School as they begin to develop their future interests and goals.

In May 2024, Raynier granted $250,000 to the Byerschool Foundation to rebuild and reconstruct a play yard for Russell Byers Charter School students.
