✨There’s no better way to ring in the New Year than by sharing this incredible news!

📣This fall, our campers and mentors launched a campaign with a bold goal: raise $50,000 for USHthis 2026 and WOW did this community show up!

🏡 $10K USHthis family sponsors, thank you Schueller and Stidd Families
🦐 $10k from our Ush One See family
