✨Meet our 2027 Guest Ambassador: Marigold✨

We are so excited to introduce you to our very first Honored Guest Ambassador! After careful consideration, we chose her to help represent Night to Shine for our area. Marigold has attended both years of our event, has shown enthusiasm and involvement at our fundraising events, and has such a great outreach to her community. We asked her why she wanted to partner with us and this was her response:

"I decided to partner with Night to Shine - Grays Harbor because of how Night to Shine gave me the incredible opportunity to go to prom. Being an individual who lives with intellectual disabilities I didn't think I'd ever really get to go to prom or dances, in general. I want to make sure I do everything I can within my given abilities to help other Kings and Queens be given the same opportunity. Because it shows individuals who live with higher needs that they are not forgotten or brushed under the rug, so to speak. I want to make sure that my friends have the best possible night. I also want to make sure that those who are caregivers have a special night as well, because without them giving us the support we need, I don't know where we'd be at."

Please congratulate and encourage her next time you see her! If you have any ideas or concerns, she would love to connect with you!

Huge thanks to 1st Security Bank in Aberdeen for welcoming The Arc of Grays Harbor, Domestic Violence Center of Grays Harbor, and the Breast Cancer Alliance of Grays Harbor as part of the Greater Grays Harbor, Inc. Business After Hours this week!

Money collected from the Cash Cube by guests were able to be given to any of the nonprofits. Our Executive Director found it wasn't as easy as it looks!

If you have the ability, we encourage you to support these or any local nonprofit doing work for your community. You can do this by sharing their story, donating funds, volunteering your time, or any way you're comfortable with.

Researchers at the Haring Center for Inclusive Education at the University of Washington are seeking families of young children with disabilities to complete a survey focused on learning more about the wants and needs of families navigating services and support for their child. This information will be used to help shape the delivery of parent education and support services in the future, ensuring they are aligned with the needs and wants of the community.
