It was a philanthropic evening for Shorecrest Preparatory School, as five host families including Helen and Chris Barrott, Stacy and Will Conroy, Nikki and Paul Pagano, Sarah and Augie Ribeiro, and Elizabeth and David Samuelson, challenged other families within the community to match and exceed $30,000 in personal gifts and pledges, to support Shorecrest’s efforts to build the new Innovation Center and Community Commons. The challenge was accepted by 30 families. The “30 for 30” event took place in early January at Sea Salt in downtown St. Pete. “Shorecrest has been more than just a phenomenal educational opportunity for our children. Over the past 15 years the Shorecrest community has become a family to us,” said Elizabeth Samuelson, Immediate Past Board Chair and one of the host families. “Shorecrest is in the middle of its largest fundraising campaign and with the recent momentum from our extremely generous donors, we are rounding the bases toward home. We need to continue to dig deep and come
together to reach our campaign goal.” To date, the Transform Campaign has raised $9.9 million toward its $16 million goal. To learn more about Transform visit www.TransformShorecrest.org.
