We are pleased to share that our 2026 Adult Night Out was a tremendous success, and it would not have been possible without the generosity and enthusiasm of our amazing community. Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, and showed up in support of our students — your contributions made all the difference. Huge shoutout to SALT: Service and Learning Together for keeping the evening running smoothly — they were such a wonderful example of what our young children can grow up to become.

We are thrilled to share that this year we surpassed last year's record, a true testament to the heart of this community. After event expenses, we raised $7,900 which covers over a third of our annual budget. Every dollar raised goes directly toward enriching the experiences and opportunities available to our students, and because of you, we are able to continue making a meaningful impact.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you. Here's to another year of coming together for our kids!

So proud doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Cayla Boehm and Maelyn Garcia—SaLT interns and board members—have spent the last three years mobilizing hundreds of students and volunteers to fight food insecurity and support communities in crisis.

They didn’t just show up…they led, they organized, and they inspired others to take action.

This is what it looks like when young people step up and change their world.

We are beyond proud of you both šŸ¤šŸ§‚
