A MESSAGE FROM Gabriel
Dear Friends and Family–
The Nightingale-Bamford School is a beloved community I have called home since 2018. Relationships are central to the ethos of Nightingale, just as they are in my life. That said, I am asking for your help as a member of Team Nightingale for the 50th anniversary New York City Marathon on November 7th. I have 30 days to raise $2,500.
Since 2017, Team Nightingale directs all proceeds to our sister school, Anpo Wicahpi, The Pine Ridge Girls School in South Dakota. It is the first all-girls, independent school on a reservation in the United States, and it relies on a national donor base for its funding. This partnership was established after a group of Nightingale students visited the school in March 2018. We returned in 2019, and will visit again as soon as we return to overnight travel, following the pandemic. As of July 2021, Team Nightingale has raised more than $111,500 for Anpo Wicahpi.
Pine Ridge Girls’ School radically changes the trajectory of Lakota girls’ lives by equipping them with vital foundations for new and promising futures full of choice and opportunity.
Thank you!
