Pam Prell's Fundraiser
My Appeal
Friends! You already know how much I value this work, supporting AMAZING Philly teachers as they bring transformative opportunities to their students. In the face of our current challenges as a society it has shifted from a good idea to just plain urgent. Philly students deserve an education that engages their hearts and minds. A chance to bring their brilliance to bear on the concerns they have for their communities. So. I’m doing this run/walk to raise some funds to support work that matters. I’ll walk 13 miles I honor of the 13 years I’ve been lucky enough to be involved with Need in Deed. I hope to raise $130. Wanna help? Every little bit is appreciated. Thank you!

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.
