6th Annual Pioneers & Purpose

Our 6th annual Pioneers & Purpose honoring John W. Thompson was a wonderful success thanks to our many friends in the business, civic, and education communities who came together to support public education. We are grateful to our 63 sponsors, to the 103 represented companies, and to the 91 individuals who made donations during the Fund-A-Need portion of the program.

A record 612 were on hand to hear John W. Thompson share his vision on the role of corporations in enabling change for our students - as a community, together, we are making a difference!

We hope you will stay connected to SVEF and the work we do year-round to support public education, and hope to see you at Pioneers & Purpose 2011!
