In 2003, SSF set out to prove to the world that you don't have to give up looking fabulous and living well in order to do good. With chapters of SSF sprouting up around the world, dozens of projects under our belt and hundreds of collaborations with companies and other organizations along the way, we think we're off to a pretty good start. Creating big, fast change isn't easy though. Making sustainability the 'next big thing' as well as a timeless trend requires strong financial and personnel resources. You can help us carry out our lofty mission by participating in Red October, SSF's fall membership drive and annual campaign. You've got two fabulous options:

1. become a member of SSF. You can do it...it's only $25 for individuals

2. donate to our annual campaign.

Our goals for the 2004 campaign are to 1. sign up 300 new members and 2. raise $10,000 in donations.

Why Red October you ask? Well, each year, the SSF Membership Drive & Annual Campaign will launch at the out-of-this-world Red Dress Party. Yes, a red dress party at which everyone - repeat EVERYONE - wears a red dress. No, it's not a costume thing or a drag thing...it's just a fabulous, fun party. Modeled after the famous Portland Red Dress Party we hope to build an event that is just as amazing and just as effective in raising money for community organizations. For our part, SSF staff have committed to wearing something red every day until we meet our membership and fundraising goals. How crazyfun is that? We'll even post snaps of us everyday to prove that we are actually doing it. Even better: we invite you, our fabulous members and supporters to wear red on occasion through October AND send pictures for us to post. So check back often, and welcome to Red October!

Please contact our office at 206-324-4850 if you prefer to not contribute online, have any questions or if you would like more information on supporting SSF.
