24 FPS
24 FPS is a fundraising group composed of Sidewalk members that creates awareness of Sidewalk’s mission, programs, and needs within general, professional, and personal communities while helping attract the resources required to operate and sustain Sidewalk’s work. They primarily support fundraising efforts, but also recruit volunteers and new members, and leverage personal relationships and resources to secure in-kind support. 24 FPS provides a positive, enjoyable opportunity for like-minded individuals to connect, collaborate, and build a healthy, robust social network within the Sidewalk community.
