Step Up to Keep SEEDS Growing
The 2010-11 Corporate Friends of SEEDS Campaign is now under way. Volunteers are reaching out to current and prospective contributors to share news about the foundation’s progress and local businesses, churches are stepping up to pledge or renew their financial support for the coming year.
Daphne citizens can take pride in the achievements of their local education foundation over the past five years:
- $121,000 in Classroom Enrichment Grants
- Ongoing support for the International Baccalaureate Programme at Daphne High
- Two successful community-building events -- the Mamma Mia Cook-off and the Classic Rock 5K & Fun Run
- New enrichment opportunities through the SEEDS Lyceum
- Presentation of the annual SEEDS Summit to update Daphne citizens on pressing education issues
- Annual academic excellence projects like Together We Read and Daphne Writes that give the community new ways to be involved.
Since September, SEEDS has also taken a leadership role in establishing the Baldwin County Education Coalition, a new partnership of all seven local education foundations that is working to keep citizens engaged around school reform.
As SEEDS grows, so do the foundation’s day-to-day operating expenses. SEEDS depends upon continuing support from Daphne businesses and families to sustain our expanding program of work.
You can do your part to keep these important initiatives going by becoming a Corporate Friends of SEEDS. Businesses, individuals or groups that contribute a minimum of $250 receive valuable marketing and networking benefits as sponsors of the Mamma Mia Cook-off and Classic Rock 5k/Fun Run.
Join those who understand the difference Daphne’s education foundation is making for our own children and others throughout Baldwin County. Help keep SEEDS growing!
