First and foremost, thank you to everyone who participated in this year's annual Give65 Event! I know we say it often, but we truly couldn't do this work without YOU, our amazing neighbors. While the final numbers aren't in yet, you've helped us raise over $23,000 and we finished in the top 10% among the non-profits participating in the campaign! WOW. We want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting our mission.
