We Need You Now! A Place to Belong Capital Campaign

“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” —Henry David Thoreau   We are just shy of having raised $2,000,000 toward our $2,200,000 goal! Thank you to our many donors who have brought us so close to this milestone! In addition to donating, we’d be grateful if you would become a fundraiser and ask your friends and family for a gift to support the renovation of NSSRA’s new home.     Why are we conducting this kind of fundraising campaign? It’s in order to give everyone the chance to participate in NSSRA Foundation’s A Place to Belong Capital Campaign. We have nearly achieved 100% family participation toward our goal, so please join us and create your fundraising page today. Signing up as a fundraiser is simple! Check out our step-by-step Participant Guide for tips on how to register, and our Page Customization Tips for help customizing your page and sending requests for support. Or, join Foundation Manager Laurie DeSimone for a live “How-To” tutorial via Zoom on Tuesday, August 25 at 7:00pm, where you’ll be able to get your questions answered. Please RSVP here to receive your Zoom invitation.
