Good morning Mamba community -

Nea Night Out 2025 was one for the books! 

We want to make some thank yous first but PLEASE keep reading as we need the help of the Mamba community to meet our fundraising goals! 

First, A BIG THANK YOU to all who joined us at the event, made donations, purchased tickets for our facilitators, and who volunteered to make this party happen.

The auction committee would especially like to thank members of the Alameda community (and beyond) who donated the amazing activities, goods, and services for our auction. And a huge thank you again to Joanna Lau and Jim Farber who worked so hard to reach out to those community members to solicit these auction items.

If you won auction items at our live event that you did not take home with you, please text Rebecca Flynn at 510-542-7533 to coordinate pickup.

🚨 Now for the not fun part: while our event might be over we did not meet even 1/2 of our fundraising goal and will not be able to live up to our fiduciary obligation to the school for the '24-'25 school year. This means the school will be in a financial deficit because they were counting on the PTSA and Nea community’s support. 

The PTSA wants to be able to continue to fund art and music education, field trips, sports, school trips, facilitator classroom needs, and senior graduation. BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP! Without it, not only will we underfund the school this year, but these items will need to be severely cut for the ’25-’26 school year. 🚨

There are still ways to support your Nea PTSA in our final push to close this fundraising gap.
