Hello Friends!

On August 28, 2025, RECESS EDUCATION  will be joining #Give828, a national

day of giving focused specifically on supporting Black-led and Black-benefitting

organizations. 

#Give828 isn't like other fundraising campaigns.

Give 8/28 takes place during Black Philanthropy Month and commemorates

multiple critical historical landmarks in Black Americans march toward freedom.

Here are just a few:

● August 28, 1945: Major League Baseball President Branch Rickey met with

Jackie Robinson to tell him he would be integrating the Majors.

● August 28, 2005: Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Louisiana. The storm,

which devastated New Orleans, inordinately impacted many of the city’s Black

residents.

● August 28, 2020: Our beloved Chadwick Boseman, aka T’Challa died.

● And...on August 28, 2024: YOU joined #Give828 in support of Black

self-empowerment through philanthropy!

Learn about all of the historical August 28 moments here.

In 2025, we're at a critical juncture. The disproportionate impacts of economic

disparities and social injustice on Black communities underscore the vital need for

resources to support Black-led nonprofits.

RECESS Education  is on the ground every day, ensuring our communities

are equipped with access to opportunities that will end disparities and improve the educational and social outcomes of marginalized communities. 

This is why we need your support to continue the work.

Support RECESS Education this #Give28, and help us provide resources to support our newest initiative, Innovation and Learning Community Resource Program.
