Nominate a Changemaker *

Nominate a changemaker in Baltimore! One of the most meaningful moments of Stoop Soiree is when we pause to recognize the incredible individuals and organizations who are building a stronger Baltimore for families. This year, we will proudly honor three change makers who embody the heart of our mission:

  • Advocate of the Year

  • Parent of the Year

  • PTO/PTA of the Year

These are the people who don’t just show up.  They stand up.  Often they jump up!  They rally for better schools, create welcoming neighborhoods, lift up their fellow parents, and build a city where families don’t just live but they thrive! Nominate someone you know by Friday, September 5th:
