Hi Friends!

If you haven't already heard - the Gala was spectacular! If you missed it we wish you had joined. Some pictures and fundraising update below.

It was an incredible celebration of a decade of community, connection, and impact. The energy in the room was electric, the speakers were truly inspiring, and our honorees, Danielle Thompson for the Young Leadership Award and Janet & JP Newman for the Illuminator Award, were recognized in a well-deserved spotlight.

We’re thrilled to share that the fundraiser was a great success (just about 100k raised) with additional commitments over the past few days. A huge thank you to all who participated thus far — but we’re not at the finish line just yet. Your continued support will help us bring our vision to life.

We are just a few days away from closing and only 60k from the finish line!
