🍂 As Seasons Change, So Does Generosity 🍁 A Year of Growth, Giving & Gratitude

Just as the leaves turn and the air shifts, we’ve witnessed another kind of transformation—one rooted in compassion. Each year, we’re humbled by how the generosity of our volunteers, supporters, and donors continues to grow.

This year, more individuals than ever completed CASA training across our eleven-county service area, meaning more children now have the support they deserve. Our staff delivered more presentations on abuse prevention to local businesses and schools, a clear sign that our community is eager to learn, grow, and protect its most vulnerable.

And the Tailgate to Celebrate Fundraiser? It was our most successful yet—drawing record attendance and record-breaking donations. Because of you, our three programs can continue helping children heal, thrive, and hope again.

If that’s not something to be grateful for, we don’t know what is.
