Happy Friday! For this Good News Friday we would like to thank EY US for their generous donation to provide new iPads for our program. Because of their generosity, we were able to purchase more iPads for this academic year, all which can be used for more coding, literacy, homework help, and so much more. Thank you, EY, for helping foster learning and exploration with your donation.

SHINDIG is supported by a grant from the Delores Weaver Forever Event Fund, est. 2015

Delores Barr Weaver established this Fund in 2015 to provide a $10,000 grant annually to support a premiere fundraising event in perpetuity at 20 local nonprofit organizations. This grant will provide a permanent source of income for organizations that Mrs. Weaver has generously supported for many years. It is her hope that other individuals will make similar permanent gifts to organizations that have been important to them. This Fund is one of a collection of Funds established by Delores Barr Weaver at The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida. Mrs. Weaver has an extraordinary legacy of philanthropy, and she has provided transformative support to dozens of nonprofit organizations that uplift, enlighten and advance our community. Her establishment of the Delores Barr Weaver Fund ($50 million) in 2012 was the largest gift in The Community Foundation’s history.

Thank you Mrs. Weaver for supporting the SHINDIG for the past 11 years and ensuring hope continues to happen at the Sanctuary.
