William loved that all the fun activities were all accessible and we got suggestions on how best to grow his literacy. Without the grant we would have had to cut corners and would have been difficult on our family. Instead, it allowed us to focus on the needs of our son and the excitement of camp!
Our Impact This Year
The Special Education Foundation has been in operation for over 40 years, which wouldn't be possible without the unwavering support of our donors, friends, and partners throughout the St. Louis region. In the past year, we've been busy supporting families and educators within the Special School District and spotlighting individuals who go above and beyond to transform the lives of students with disabilities across St. Louis County.
Through our various programs, SEF positively impacted over 8,000 students who receive special education services in St. Louis County.
SEF’s events continue to raise funds and awareness for our work for students in St. Louis County. The 23rd Annual Dan McLaughlin Charity Golf Tournament is right around the corner, bringing together golfers, sponsors, and community members for a day of fun with a purpose. This long-standing tradition not only offers a great opportunity to enjoy the game but also plays a vital role in supporting the Special Education Foundation’s mission to help students with disabilities served by the Special School District. Proceeds from the tournament directly fund programs that foster independence, enhance social skills, and expand meaningful life opportunities for these students—ensuring they have the tools, resources, and encouragement they need to thrive both in and out of the classroom.
