More Ways to Give to SEEDS
Held annually, the Leading Change Benefit is SEEDS’ premier fundraising event, bringing together supporters, alumni, families, and community leaders to celebrate the transformative power of education. This signature evening highlights the extraordinary achievements of SEEDS scholars and alumni while showcasing the organization’s continued commitment to expanding educational access and opportunity.
The Leading Change Benefit returns Tuesday, April 14, 2026, to the Park Savoy Estate in Florham Park, NJ. The evening will feature a cocktail reception alongside a strolling-style dinner and silent auction, student and parent stories, honoree recognition, and our special scholarship paddle raise.
We are proud to announce our 2026 Honorees as Pamela Amusa, SEEDS ’02, Associate General Counsel at Navy Federal Credit Union and Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University and David Farber, Managing Director and Senior Partner with Liberty Wealth Partners, part of Rockefeller Global Family Office.
Your support of the Leading Change Benefit not only sustains our programs but also affirms the belief that education is a powerful vehicle for equity and empowerment. Together, we can continue to create opportunities, foster success, and inspire future generations of leaders.

She is admitted to practice in D.C., New York, and Virginia, and also serves as an adjunct professor at Georgetown University. Pamela lives in Washington, D.C. with her three young children, who keep her active and endlessly curious about life and the mysteries of the ocean.
