Honor Teachers and Staff on Give STL Day May 3
This year there's a twist on Give STL Day. We'll still be raising money in honor of teachers and school staff, but this year the money will be distributed among the parent associations in the Ladue School District. That way, we'll be helping them as they directly support those teachers, staff and administrators who make a difference for our students every day!
On Tuesday, May 3, during National Teacher Appreciation Week, you can donate to this campaign. Last year, the LEF received 102 donations and raised $5,091.26. Our number of donations put us in the top 4% of the 790 participating non-profits! We made a powerful statement to our teachers and joined our community in raising two million dollars for local non-profits in one day.
Give STL Day is a big, bold opportunity for us and for our community. A partnership between the St. Louis Community Foundation and nonprofits from across the area, Give STL Day is an online day of giving where nonprofits like ours will be reaching out to our donors – and looking for new ones – as we educate them about our mission and raise operating funds.
Visit www.givestlday.org for additional details, and don’t forget to give on May 3!
