Nassau County Schools Facilities Association’s Story

For many years, the Nassau County Schools Facilities Association has stood beside SCO Family of Services as a steadfast partner, champion, and friend. Their generosity has touched countless young people across our programs, and their commitment continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the children and families we serve.

The Association’s support goes far beyond financial contributions—though those have been invaluable. Each holiday season, they brighten our youth’s lives with thoughtful gifts that remind them they are seen, valued, and cared for. These moments of joy matter deeply, especially for young people who may be facing challenges no child should have to navigate alone.

A special acknowledgment goes to former President Mr. Jon Simpkins, whose leadership and personal dedication have played a major role in sustaining this partnership. Jon has been a true advocate for SCO, always showing up, always lending a hand, and always ensuring that the Association’s support remains strong year after year. His kindness and consistency have left a lasting impact on our community.

To Jon and to every member of the Nassau County Schools Facilities Association: thank you. Your generosity, your heart, and your unwavering commitment have helped us create brighter futures for so many young people. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and look forward to continuing this meaningful relationship for many years to come.
