SEF Virtual Spring Fundraiser

Dear friends,

After this year of being apart, we invite you to join the Sunnyvale Education Foundation (SEF) community at one or more of our Virtual Spring Fundraiser events:

Adults, please join us for one, several or all of the virtual events in support of Sunnyvale School District (SSD) students. Tickets are $50 per event, and a portion of the ticket price will be matched. You can also donate a ticket so an SSD teacher may enjoy a virtual event.

Your support will be tripled with our challenge matching grants! Ticket price includes the activity and a donation to SEF, which is matched 2:1 by LinkedIn and Facebook.

Learn more about each virtual event, and purchase a ticket for yourself or a teacher, at SEF-events.eventbrite.com.

SEF is currently assisting all SSD schools, funding distance-learning items such as dignified workspace materials and supplies, STEM and art kits, extended reading materials, culturally sensitive books, music software licenses for middle school band students, and a portion of virtual Science Camp at all ten schools. The current round of grants also invests in materials such as microscopes and band shells, in anticipation of students returning to the classroom.

Thank you for all you do to support our children and our community. Every effort made to ensure a strong educational foundation for our children is an investment in a brighter future for us all.

Working together for our kids,

Melinda Hamilton, President
Sunnyvale Education Foundation

We would like to thank our event sponsors LinkedIn, Google and Facebook.

Sunnyvale, CA – Thanks to the city of Sunnyvale and the Sunnyvale Cares program for supporting SEF with an $11,000 donation to help fill our fundraising gap after we had to cancel our annual donor event in March.

From the City of Sunnyvale Website: To assist Sunnyvale nonprofits impacted by COVID-19, the City committed $150,000 to create a Sunnyvale Cares Nonprofit Grant Program. The City received 27 applications for a combined funding request of $600,005. Mayor Klein appointed an ad hoc advisory committee (Committee) to review the applications submitted and make funding recommendations to the City Council. The Committee members were Councilmember Russ Melton, Councilmember Mason Fong, and Mayor Larry Klein. The Committee forwarded its recommendation to the City Council and on July 28, 2020, the City Council approved the following funding levels for 15 agencies.
