We're celebrating the third day of our National Conference, where we're gaining valuable insights and forging meaningful connections to unlock new possibilities for our families. This year, we've been honored with three prestigious awards: Center of Excellence for Human Resources, Strong Operations and Facility, and Strong for Board Health and Strategy. As we continue to grow and raise awareness, we're energized by the prospect of driving positive change and empowering our community.

We’re so thankful to everyone who gave. Because of supporters like you, children and adults like Savannah, John, Mycah, and GiGi continue to learn, achieve, and build confidence through our free programs. ​

But if you haven’t had a chance to give yet, there’s still time to make an impact and help us continue changing lives. ​​
