Join us for an inspiring evening dedicated to celebrating local educators and supporting the Shawnee Educational Foundation through our annual banquet, featuring The Art of Education theme.
Education is more than textbooks and tests. It is creativity, imagination, and heart, and this special night honors all of it.
The Shawnee Educational Foundation Annual Banquet is our largest fundraiser of the year and supports classroom grants that benefit students of all ages in Shawnee, Grove, Pleasant Grove, and South Rock Creek Schools. In 2025 alone, SEF awarded more than $33,000 in grants to local schools, helping teachers bring innovative and engaging learning experiences to their classrooms.
Evening highlights include:
* Dinner
* Silent art auction and raffles featuring artwork from local students and artists
* Celebration of SEF grant recipients
* Recognition of Hall of Fame and Max Brattin Honorees
We can’t wait to gather together on March 26th to celebrate our grant winners and the educators who make a lasting impact in our schools. Your support helps turn creative ideas into meaningful classroom opportunities. We hope to see you there!
Purchase your tickets or reserve a table today. Individual tickets are $80, or a table of eight is available for $600.
