Dear Friends and Supporters,
With your support, Celebrate the Children Annual Fundraiser has been a huge success! As we wrap up our virtual campaign, we are grateful with how our community continues to give. Our fundraising goal was $125,000, and the current gross projection is close to $145,000! We are excited that we surpassed this goal with the love and commitment that family, friends, and supporters have shown to serve those less fortunate. Your generous donations will support vital ACC Grant funding this Fall and Spring 2021-22.
Advocacy and Caring for Children met our near-term goals of raising awareness of our organization, reaching potential new members by sharing our passion for the programs we support, and creating new ways of fundraising. We are glad you joined us, and we want to keep you engaged in our journey. If you would still like to donate to Celebrate the Children, click on the donate now button below.
A big thank you to an amazing Celebrate the Children team who contributed greatly to this year’s success: Tara O’Connor, Sue Richards, Deirdre Brownlow, Mindy Morgan, Heidi Bruch, and Patty Barnes.
