Gosh it has been forever since I have written a post! I guess that is the result of a busy summer and the luxury of incredible interns (don’t leave us in the U.S. office, Maggie!!). The good news is that I have something very exciting to talk about today… alllllmost as exciting as Meghann’s wedding!
What could that be? The results of the Annual Fund, of course! You might remember back here when I tried to make Annual Funds sexy and attempted to express how important this support is for TFFT’s success. Well, the fund has officially closed, and guess what? We made it to the beach!! We are thrilled to report that we surpassed our $40,000 goal by 30%… meaning that support for this year’s Annual Fund exceeded $50,000! Gifts of all sizes made this a reality, so if you donated:

Thank you to everyone who participated. This support will carry TFFT through the year. The scholars we support have dealt with many great hardships, and they deserve the world. Thank you for believing that they are worth it.
