Upcoming Family Fun Fest Supports Educational Enrichment in Longmeadow

LONGMEADOW — The Longmeadow Educational Excellence Foundation (LEEF) is holding its largest fundraiser of the year, Family Fun Fest, on Sunday, April 27 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Twin Hills Country Club.

“Our Family Fun Fest is a great way for us to celebrate our teachers, raise money for their future grants, and kick back and have fun with our community,” said Seth Stutman, LEEF board president. “We fund dozens of grants annually to teachers in every Longmeadow Public School. The funds we raise at the Family Fun Fest go directly to enriching education in our town.”

The community is invited to the event, which will include dinner and a cash bar, lawn games, raffles and auctions, a chipping tournament, caricature artists, and more. Tickets cost $40 for adults and $20 for children and can be purchased at bit.ly/LongmeadowFunFest25.

“We’re hoping for a big crowd this year,” Stutman said. “The event offers something for everyone, so come with your whole family for a great night of fabulous food and fun.”

LEEF is a private, volunteer, nonprofit educational foundation that was created to enrich and enhance the quality of education in the Longmeadow Public Schools. To date, LEEF has awarded grants totaling more than $1.2 million for computer software and hardware, musical instruments, academic programs and materials, foreign-language training, teacher training, and more.
