I. Fund Raising As mentioned earlier, the main reason for being of SMSSAFF is fund raising. Unlike some big time foundations, however, we do this on a purely volunteer services. We do not hire professional fund raisers. No salaries, no per diems. Perhaps in the future, we will consider employing the services of a professiona fund raiser. Thus far, the fund raising efforts that SMSSAFF pursued were through the following mediums: golf tournaments, internet solicitation (through emails, facebook accounts, websites), souvenir programs, pledging sessions, coin collections, book campaigns, and walkathons / marathons.
II. Connectivity An important service that SMSSAFF provides is alumni and friends connectivity. It has been doing this through its every 2-years reunions. Since its formation in 2005, it had ten reunions held in: West Virginia, California (twice), New York (twice), Vancouver (twice), Toronto, Michigan and Maryland. The 2026 reunion is scheduled in Calgary, Canada.
These reunions are greatly anticipated since it provides a venue for alumni and friends who are scattered all over the globe to reconnect with each other and reminisce cherished memories from their school days at St. Mary’s School of Sagada.
