Chelsea Gamber's Fundraiser
My Appeal
Need in Deed, a not-for-profit organization, has been improving the educational experience of students in grades 3 to 8 in Philadelphia since 1987. The 2020-2021 school year will be especially challenging for teachers and students with all the uncertainty that COVID-19 presents. The Need in Deed team is ready to support classrooms remotely to help them provide the same level of engaging, challenging learning that we would in person. We are sponsoring the Need in Deed Education Equity run/walk to raise funds to support our work. Please consider participating in our ‘virtual’ run/walk that will start on Monday August 24th and end on Sunday October 4th. I invite you to join me by donating what you can and registering to become a runner/walker with us. You can run or walk whatever distance is comfortable for you. Your participation is what matters!

My Cause
The Mission: The purpose of Need in Deed is to transform the educational experience for students, teachers, and communities by embedding empathy, informed investigation, and civic action within public school classrooms.
About the Organization:
Need in Deed has a vision for equitable public education where students’ concerns, ideas, and lived experiences drive them to be advocates for change. Our unique learning model deepens student engagement, enhances effective teaching strategies, and develops authentic community relationships.
Using Need in Deed’s signature “My VOICE” framework, students in grades 3-8 identify a social issue, engage in research to learn about root causes, and develop action steps in response. Throughout the year-long process, Need in Deed provides teachers with a network of practice and support. Local professionals and practitioners also bring their expertise and wisdom into classrooms, connecting school curriculum with community issues. By engaging students’ curiosity and leadership, our model develops students' academic, social, and emotional skills and prepares youth for lifelong success.
