Join us for “Our City, Our Schools”-
a special evening honoring
We’re celebrating a decade of empowering SFUSD students, supporting teachers, and building a vibrant community dedicated to unlocking the potential of every child in San Francisco for generations to come.
Investing in our schools is more than a commitment to our children’s future – it’s an investment in a thriving, vibrant San Francisco today. When our schools achieve excellence, our families stay and prosper, our businesses invest, our social fabric grows stronger – and our next generation of leaders takes shape.
This is our city. These are our schools.
Let’s be champions of great public schools in San Francisco, together.
Join us to Celebrate and Support SFUSD Students!
Tickets and sponsorships will benefit Spark’s $5 million literacy campaign, Ready, Set, Read!, supporting the district’s highest priority student literacy initiatives.
Together, we will have a once-in-a-generation impact on SFUSD’s students and teachers, dramatically transforming and improving literacy instruction and student proficiency.
This special evening is not only a celebration of Spark’s impact but also a reflection of our collective power to champion public education in San Francisco.

African American Achievement and Leadership Initiative (AAALI), bolstering conditions for success for our African American students across SFUSD;
LGBTQ+ Teacher Liaisons in 30 SFUSD elementary schools, supporting their work to create safe and welcoming spaces for LGBTQ+ students.
