It's hard to put into words how grateful we feel.

This year's Dinner for a Cause theme was Where Hope Grows, and as we look back on the night, that feels like the perfect way to describe what happened.

Together, we raised $116,595 — the highest amount ever raised in the history of this event.

To everyone who attended, sponsored, volunteered, donated, bid in the auction, and believed in our mission: thank you. We are so overwhelmed by your kindness and deeply grateful to be part of a community that shows up for one another in such a meaningful way. 🤍

We meet many individuals and families who were managing just fine until one unexpected expense changed everything. Early support can make the difference between a temporary hardship and a much deeper crisis, which is why LEAVEN focuses on helping remove barriers before situations escalate.

For many families, summer doesn’t always mean vacation. It can mean higher utility bills, extra childcare costs, increased grocery expenses and trying to stretch every paycheck a little further.

At LEAVEN, we see how quickly everyday financial pressure can build. Sometimes, a small setback is all it takes to put housing, transportation or stability at risk. That’s why early support matters. Help create a ripple of hope at leavenfoxcities.org

Despite doing everything “right,” she suddenly found herself facing the possibility of losing her home during one of the hardest moments of her life.

With support from LEAVEN, Tiffany was able to bridge the gap and keep a safe, stable place for her daughter to heal.

Stories like Tiffany’s are a reminder that crisis can happen faster than many people realize — and that sometimes, a single moment of community support can change the course of a difficult season.

At LEAVEN, we provide emergency financial assistance and support for Fox Cities households facing unexpected crises.

As part of that work, we’re launching a blog series designed to share helpful information, resources, and guidance for individuals and families navigating financial challenges. Our goal is to make these topics feel more approachable and give people tools they can use in everyday life.
