09 Nov Host a Personal All In for Kids Gathering
Northshore Schools Foundation’s 2023 spring fundraiser has been reimagined as a campaign with a series of events hosted by community members, creating the opportunity for intimate engagement.
We invite our community to host a personal gathering – inviting friends, family, and neighbors – and share their passion for supporting the foundation’s work to fuel innovation and remove barriers to student learning.
Each host personalizes their event, choosing the location, the time, the food, and the guests.
Northshore Schools Foundation staff will support the host with communication and marketing material.
In addition, one or two representatives from the Foundation will be present at your event to discuss the organization’s mission and programs and respond to questions.
