Summit Educational Foundation Fundraiser
The Summit Educational Foundation (SEF) will hold its annual fundraiser, Spring For Excellence on Friday, April 30. Each year, one of Summit’s schools takes a turn hosting the foundation’s largest fundraiser, and this year it’s Lincoln-Hubbard Elementary School. Abby Horev and Jennifer Salzman are co-chairing Spring For Excellence 2021 with the help of 10 committee members. This year’s event will be held virtually, with a live presentation by the SEF executive board, followed by a silent auction.
Formed in 1986, SEF has awarded nearly $8M in grants to Summit’s nine public schools. In 2020, SEF purchased Chromebooks for every 1st and 2nd grade child, in addition to microphones for every teacher who requested one. Historically, SEF’s grants have provided alternative seating, musical instruments, smart boards, software programs and much more.
While the foundation is unable to host a live event this year, lawn signs are being sold in lieu of a ticket to the virtual event. These lawn signs help to promote the event and show support for the wonderful and meaningful work SEF does. Spring For Excellence 2021 is also focusing on “Celebrating Education” by releasing videos from each of the nine schools which highlight specific grants that have been awarded in the last three years. Keep an eye out for these entertaining and educational videos on the websites listed below in addition to social media.
