The 2010 Evening of Hope Dinner Auction was a night to remember!   Our wonderful guests helped us raise over $125,000!  

In 2009, we launched our Sponsor-A-Child program.   Joe Manzardo, former board member and long-time supporter of our programs, took it up a notch when he texted a challenge to business

owners in the room to become “business angels” and pledge to sponsor a child for one year.  News spread through the audience and resulted in a fantastic response to become an angel!

THANK YOU TO OUR “BUSINESS ANGELS”
