SESSFA is proud to announce that this summer our 17 schools received checks from SESSFA‘s 2022-2023 pooled amount of $397,508! 

 

We followed the same equitable model as last year with the first 50 percent of funds raised to be split equally and the second 50 percent to be split using our equitable model that accounts for race and ethnicity as well as students receiving special education, multilingual and McKinney Vento services. Thank you for your generosity and commitment to the equitable fundraising and advocacy work we are doing in our communities. It’s #anewwaytopta


We are not sustainable without your support, and we welcome new volunteers and voices. If you can join us in our planning this summer or fall, please reach out to your site leaders or to our general email address at Www.sessfa.org

With gratitude: In the Spring of 2022, The National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian reached out to us to ask if we could submit relics for their Giving in America exhbit. We have officially gifted two copies of the 2022 Move a thon Bingo Board (so that both the front and back can be displayed) as well as a water bottle from the 2021 year.
