Dear Friends:
 
The Sandy Spring Friends School Parent Association (SSFS PA) respectfully requests your support of our Auction for Financial Aid, which will take place on Saturday, May 4, 2024. Approximately 40% of SSFS students receive financial aid—making the impact of the annual PA Auction significant, and the funds raised absolutely essential!
 
SSFS is a progressive, coed, PK-12th grade college preparatory Quaker school with deep roots in Sandy Spring, MD. Founded in 1961, the School offers its nearly 700 students a rigorous academic curriculum, an education rooted in universal Quaker values, and a diverse and international student body that reflects today’s global community. Our domestic families live throughout the greater DC Metro area, including Montgomery, Howard, and Prince George’s counties; Northern Virginia; and Washington, DC. We invite you to learn more about the SSFS community online at www.ssfs.org.
 
Our 2024 auction theme is “SSFS Stories: Speaking Volumes II,” which celebrates our school’s motto, “Let Your Lives Speak”—a call to all our students to use their voices to create change in the world.
 
Your participation in “SSFS Stories: Speaking Volumes II” makes a difference! Help shine the spotlight on our scholars by donating a product, service, or gift certificate that can be auctioned off at our event. In recognition of your support and as a promotional opportunity for your company, your business name will be listed in our program, which is shared with the entire SSFS community (approximately 5,000 people); featured on our online auction pages (www.ssfs.org/events/auction), and highlighted during the event itself (approximately 200 guests expected).
 
Please complete the enclosed Auction Donation Form and return it to us via mail or email (PA.AuctionClerk@ssfs.org) by April 4, 2024. Or, if you prefer, complete the ONLINE Auction Donation Form by scanning the QR code to the right or visiting www.ssfs.org/events/auction/donate.
 
When you support the SSFS PA Auction, you are saying YES to a school, values, and approach to raising and educating children that collectively have the power to foster, shape, and launch the global change agents of our future. We cannot do it without you, so thank you in advance for supporting Sandy Spring Friends School!
 
With gratitude,
