Year Two Fundraising Goal

We have some exciting news to share with you…for the second year in a row we reached our yearly fundraising goal for our Together We Do More campaign! 

We asked you one month ago to join our Do What You Love Challenge to support our programs. You hosted parties, played games, and gathered your friends. And because of you and the support of our community, this June we reached our year two fundraising goal. 

We only have one year left in our three-year “Together, We Do More” fundraising campaign. With your help, we feel confident going into this next year.  

A huge thank you to each person who hosted or attended an event or made a contribution this year to help us reach our goal. Because of your support we are able to provide safe havens and opportunities to grow and thrive to youth at critical moments in their lives. 

You can host an event at any time of the year, learn how
