What’s Your Why? Discover the Heart of Eureka Schools Foundation’s Annual Giving Campaign!
At Eureka Schools Foundation (ESF), we believe in the power of stories. Every donation we receive fuels programs that inspire and transform the lives of students across the Eureka Union School District. This year, as part of our Annual Giving Campaign, we’re thrilled to share the “What’s Your Why?” series—a heartfelt collection of testimonials showcasing the deep connections and personal motivations behind our supporters’ commitment.
You may have seen snippets of these testimonials in our emails and flyers. Here, we’re compiling them all in one place!
Voices from Our Board: Parent Volunteers
The “What’s Your Why?” series invites you to hear directly from those who experience the impact of ESF every day. Our board members — all parent volunteers — have taken a moment to sit down and reflect on their journeys, offering insights into what fuels their passion for education and community service.
Voices from Our Schools: Principals and Teachers
Complementing these videos are powerful written testimonials from EUSD principals and teachers across every school in the district. =
Each testimonial is a testament to how your contributions help fill gaps that state funding often cannot cover, ensuring that our children receive a well-rounded, enriching education.

Why Your Support Matters
Behind every student who plays an instrument, creates a piece of art, or competes on the field is a community that believes in their potential. This campaign is about recognizing and celebrating the collective effort that makes these programs possible.
By sharing these testimonials, we hope to inspire you to reflect on your own “Why.” What drives you to support education? Perhaps it’s the memory of a teacher who made a difference in your life or the desire to see every child have access to the same opportunities you once had.
Every donation you make helps sustain and grow these programs, ensuring that every student in EUSD has access to the enriching experiences they deserve. As you consider your contribution to this year’s Annual Giving Campaign, remember that your “Why” becomes a part of our collective story, empowering future generations.
Thank you for being a vital part of the Eureka Schools Foundation family. Let’s keep the momentum going, one story at a time.
