It’s a morning filled with exercise, family, community spirit, and purpose—all in support of enhancing education for students in the Ossining School District. By participating, you’ll join hundreds of others in making a meaningful impact.

The mission of the Ossining MATTERS Education Foundation is to support and enrich the learning opportunities for all children in the Ossining School District. The goal of the foundation is to generate community awareness and support for the Ossining School District in order to provide an ongoing source of funds, through grants and other fundraising efforts, to augment the programs offered in the Ossining Public Schools. The funds will be used to develop and support programs in accordance with the Ossining School District’s mission statement in the areas of (but not limited to) academics, cultural arts, and athletics to ensure that each student realizes his or her fullest potential.
