Dear Safe Schools Coalition Members and Friends:
We want to express our WARMEST GRATITUDE to the individuals, families and organizations who've made donations to the Coalition so far this year. We have almost no overhead; that all gets donated. So nearly every penny
of every dollar lets us respond to crisis calls, help school districts adopt strong and just policies, train educators to be able to talk respectfully about LGBTQ people and to teach about, and intervene in, bullying.
First are those who gave $10 or more per month, our HONOR ROLL:
Roberta Adams - $150
Glenn Bafia - $120
Linda and Tom Baker - $150, in memory/honor of Max
Chris Beahler - $150
Tracy Flynn and Sheri Simonsen - $200
Pamela Jensen - $240
Karen Kulm - $120
Shad Reinstein & Jody Laine - $250
Lew Scheinert and Dave Green - $300
Anonymous - $120
Anonymous in West Seattle - $500
And then are all the other donors, some of whom are students and seniors with limited incomes, whose gift may have been objectively smaller than the honor rollers, but for whom it was a stretch financially. They are
just as WONDERFUL:
Catherine Ahl
Breana Anderson
Rachael Brister
