 A LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT

Dear Friends and Supporters of FTK,

 

For over 25 years, this remarkable foundation has been dedicated to raising funds and giving back to the children of the East Islip School District. FTK has become a cornerstone of our community and a shining example of why I am proud to call this fantastic place my home.

As President of this incredible foundation, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to all of our sponsors and supporters. Your generosity and unwavering commitment over the years have truly made a world of difference. Together, I am confident that we can continue to make a profound impact for many years to come.

A heartfelt thank you goes to the entire FTK Board of Directors for your tireless efforts and dedication. To our FTK teacher representatives, parent representatives, student interns, the East Islip School District administration, Board of Education members, faculty, and staff—your support and enthusiasm have been invaluable to the success of this foundation and the betterment of our students.

Due to the community’s generosity unwavering support, FTK has donated over $1,500,000 to enrich and enhance the educational experiences of the students in the East Islip School District. We are actively exploring programs that foster educational enrichment and promote positive social and emotional growth for our children—efforts made possible only with your help.  At FTK, we are extremely proud of that accomplishment. We believe we have, through any one of dozens of donations, enhanced the educational opportunities of thousands of students in the District.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your continued support and know that your contributions will have a lasting, meaningful impact on the lives of the children we serve.
