We are celebrating our annual Friends of the Foundation Gala at Mendakota Country Club on Wednesday, November 13, 2024. This event raises essential funds that support the South St. Paul Educational Foundation’s work of providing life-changing scholarships and programs for the students at the South St. Paul public schools.

 In the last year alone, the Foundation was able to award $477,250 in scholarships to 140 South St. Paul Seniors, and more than 20 program grants that impacted every single student in the district with field trips, books, equipment, etc., that they would not have otherwise had access to.

 The event includes a silent and live auction, and we are seeking donations from the community! Some items to consider include tickets to sporting or theatre events, artwork,   weekend getaways, classes such as cooking or painting, children’s activities, and unique baskets of related items. Cash donations are always welcomed and greatly appreciated as well.

  The South St. Paul Educational Foundation’s tax-exempt number is 41-1494597. All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by the law. If you have any questions,    please contact Beth Skwira at 651-457-9486 or bskwira@sspps.org.

 We appreciate your support!
