Fund-A-Need

The annual Fund-A-Need (FAN) is an opportunity for the Gator community to support a specific area at Annie Wright Schools that enhances programming and learning for our students and community at large. From the Kemper Theatre upgrades to new bleachers, shade umbrellas and audiovisual equipment, recent Fund-A-Need projects have added wonderful new resources to campus for our community.

THE 2025 VISION

Play is essential to learning, growth, and community at all ages. The 2025 Fund-A-Need at the Gator Gala Crab Feed on March 15 will support new playground equipment and outdoor games at Annie Wright Schools, creating spaces where students of all ages can foster creativity, collaboration, and well-being.

This effort goes beyond playground equipment—it’s about cultivating an environment where every student from Preschool to Grade 12 can thrive, connect, and grow through the transformative power of play. Stay tuned for more updates to come about this years Fund-A-Need!
