My Appeal
Hello, I am a member of the Board of Directors of Need-In-Deed, a not-for-profit organization, that has been improving the educational experience of students in grades 3 to 8 in the City of Philadelphia since 1987.
Need-In-Deed’s work with Philadelphia students will continue for the upcoming school year even with the school resuming in a virtual environment. Our work is now more important than ever based on all social issues that we are all faced with on a daily basis!
Please consider participating in our ‘virtual’ run/walk that will start on Monday August 24th and end on Sunday October 4th. Unlike a traditional run/walk, this virtual race uses technology and allows for social distancing. You can participate on your own, or with a friend, family member, or colleagues. You can participate any time of the day, on your own schedule, at any point during the campaign timeframe. The choice is yours!. After registering download the Charity Footprints app from the app store to track your miles ran and/or walked!
If you are not able to participate as a runner or walker, please consider donating to support Need In Deed to make a difference with Philadelphia based students via my personal fundraising page.

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.
