🎓 NTEF 24th Annual Fundraising Luncheon📅 Friday, October 23, 2026
🕦 11:30 a.m.
📍 Indian Summer Golf & Country Club
Join the North Thurston Education Foundation for our 24th Annual Fundraising Luncheon, featuring Thurston County Sheriff Derek Sanders as keynote speaker.
Each year, this special event brings together community members, educators, businesses and friends who believe every student in North Thurston Public Schools deserves the opportunity to succeed.
During the luncheon, you’ll hear stories of hope and resilience, learn more about the challenges facing local students and families, and see how community support helps NTEF remove barriers to learning.
The need is significant. During the 2025–26 school year, NTEF provided 10,175 basic-needs items directly to students and helped 1,365 students access the Kids Closet for clothing and hygiene essentials. NTEF also provides emergency assistance, classroom grants, scholarships and educational opportunities throughout the district.
🎟 Tickets are $30, covering the cost of lunch so that charitable gifts made during the event can directly support students and classrooms.
During the program, guests will be invited to consider a suggested contribution of $70 or more as we work toward our $50,000 fundraising goal.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available for businesses and organizations interested in investing in local students.
