SAC'S "JENNY EDUCATION FUND" -- TO BRING YOUTH TO STORYTELLING
The Jenny Education Fund is making it possible for students to learn from Storytellers. Hearing stories is more than entertainment, it is educational, and inspires the skill of listening.
We graciously accept monetary contributions to a fund created to honor a vivacious storyteller, Jennifer Rachael Makofsky. Jenny whole-heartedly embraced life and was known as a "Keeper of the Spirit" for children and storytelling. Jenny was tragically killed in an auto accident in 2004 at age 35, long before her time. This Memorial Fund was created to help continue her life's vision. Tributes and remembrances are many, as you can read in her obituary.
Jenny was instrumental in the creation of the Storytelling Association of California, was on the mission statement committee and worked diligently to make the Bay Area Storytelling Festival happen year after year. She told stories at the Oakland Public Libraries and Bay Area schools creating quirky and engaging stories for children.
