On April 30th, 2021 the Summit Educational Foundation (SEF) will host its annual fundraising event, Spring For Excellence. This event is SEF’s largest fundraiser, with an anticipated attendance of over 400 members of the Summit community.

Funds raised at this event will support grants in science, math, literacy, language, technology, and the arts across each of the district’s nine schools. These grants enhance the schools’ curriculums, providing exciting and innovative teaching and learning opportunities for our educators and students. One of our main focuses this year is visibility, and advertising the event in order to better educate the community on SEF’s work.

As a virtual event, in lieu of tickets, we are selling lawn signs that can be purchased at SEF2021.givesmart.com. The lawn signs will be a way to get widespread visibility across town. We hope it will encourage entire streets and neighborhoods to join. This year we want Spring For Excellence to be a call to action. It’s been a hard year for all, and we want to bring the entire community together by supporting our children and their education.
