Lead - Nonprofit

10/09/2025

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Lead Annual Fundraiser, what an incredible evening of connection, impact, and hope. Because of your generosity, we were able to sponsor 200 youth through our Paddle Raise and saw record-breaking support in both our silent and live auctions!

A heartfelt thank-you to Pat Schefsky for emceeing the night with such great energy, Jennifer Pfeiffer from Dow for serving as our inspiring Honorary Chair, and Nolan Mizner for sharing the impact Lead has had on the youth in his classroom, a moment that moved so many of us to tears.

We’re also deeply grateful to our sponsors, partners, and everyone who believes in this mission. Together, we’re raising hope, building resilience, and changing what’s possible — one child, one family, one story at a time.

We had such a great time diving into leadership styles, building confidence, and sharing real-life experiences with an amazing group of professionals. It was a room full of insight, honesty, and the kind of motivation that reminds us why we do what we do.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day so impactful!

Behind every empowered student is an educator who sees the change. We’re proud to work with schools who believe in building more than academic skills—together, we’re shaping confident, capable leaders.
