Thank you to everyone who came out to play with us on the gardens for our second annual Kaleidoscopia event this past Saturday!
It was an afternoon of family-friendly creativity and care, just the antidote we all need in trying times. We’re so grateful to everyone that participated and to everyone that attended. With everyone’s’ help, we raised over $8,500 to continue our mission at the Q***r Keys Community Center.
