SAAS in the City
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING
For the first time in more than two years, the Seattle Academy community gathered in person for a revamped SAAS in the City, our annual party that celebrates the transformational impact of a SAAS education and raises funds to benefit our Financial Aid programs. With generous support from seven sponsors, 470 guests, more than 100 student performers and 11 alumni performers or speakers, together we raised a total of $1,108,911 to ensure access and inclusion for all students regardless of socioeconomic background.
The average financial aid grant is $30,000, which means thanks to our collective efforts we were able to raise enough for 30+ students who may rely on financial assistance next year.
The success of SAAS in the City is a direct result of the tremendous effort and countless hours put in by volunteers, student performers, and faculty and staff. Thank you to event co-chairs Megan Bergerson and Deena McCloskey.

BUILDING CAMPUS AND COMMUNITY
SOUTH PARK
In 2019, Seattle Academy entered into an innovative public-private partnership with the City of Seattle and Seattle Parks and Recreation to renovate the South Park Community Center site in South Seattle. Seattle Academy has committed to raising $5 million for this project: Four million dollars for the construction of the new full-size, fully-lit multi-sport field that, upon completion, will be reserved for the exclusive use of SAAS teams every weekday afternoon during the fall and spring sports seasons; and $1 million dedicated to 10 years of community programming at the site, with SAAS spearheading a minimum of 50 hours of programming annually. Since 2019, SAAS has organized and led four weeks of sports and STEM camps for neighborhood youth.
