Communities In Schools Of Dallas Region topped off its 4S campaign in a crowning way

The journey of a fundraising campaign is a true memory maker. But when the goal is achieved there’s a true sense of accomplishment in attaining what may have seemed impossible. However, if those involved in the effort truly believe in it, they are driven with a truly remarkable power. So it was that Communities in Schools of the Dallas Region (CISDR) instilled such dedication in the team spearheading the “Safer Students, Stronger Schools (4S)” campaign for $10M. To celebrate the completion of the multi-year campaign headed up by Brint Ryan, a celebration was held on Thursday, January 25, atop Reunion Tower in Crown Block’s Crown Room with the campaign’s advisory council, CISDR Chief Clinical Officer Dr. Summer Rose, Junior Achievement of Dallas President/CEO Keith Vinson and others. Here’s a report from the field.

Thursday night, high atop downtown Dallas in the Crown Room at Crown Block, education and mental health advocates gathered to celebrate the finale of Communities in Schools of the Dallas Region’s “Safer Students, Stronger Schools (4S)” campaign. In 2018, Communities in Schools of the Dallas Region (CISDR) launched the $10 million campaign to increase mental health support for children and youth in schools, along with expanding case management services into new schools. The campaign was guided by a ten-person Advisory Council with 4S Chair Brint Ryan. Members included Nancy Best, Dr. Froswa Booker-Drew, Sarah Losinger, Lynn McBee, President Bob Mong, Paul Stephens, Dr. Madhukar Trivedi, Freddy Vaca and Gretchen Williams.
