Celebrate the Children: WOW! What an amazing event! We’re thrilled to share that total revenue exceeded $224,000, with a net profit of approximately $185,000! Thank you to everyone who joined us for such a fun and meaningful evening, and to all who supported this fundraiser—we couldn’t have done it without you! How incredible that these proceeds will go toward supporting so many underserved children and their families. We are deeply grateful to Laura Dark and Erika Mervin for their leadership, and to the entire amazing committee: Mary Roddy, Sue Richards, Mindy Morgan, Erin Manca, Tara O'Connor, Gayle Kaplan, Heidi Bruch, and Deirdre Brownlow—your dedication made this all possible. Thank you all for being part of something so impactful!
This was a record-setting year, and we raised approximately 27% over last year. As we wrap-up our campaign, we are grateful for how our community continues to give. The generosity of family, friends, and supporters will provide grant funding for programs that serve vulnerable children and families this spring and fall 2025.
We strive to raise awareness of our organization, reaching potential new members by sharing our passion for the programs we support. We are glad you joined us, and we want to keep you engaged in our journey.
