The Sunshine Fund
The Sunshine Fund and Coordinator have been established to send cards and other small items to Classified Professionals who may be experiencing health, bereavement, or other difficult situations. The Classified Senate would like to support its professionals and let them know that they are being sent good wishes in these types of events.
