Party with a Purpose = Birthday Blessings for the Care Closet!! 🎁🎉

A big splash of thanks goes out to Brinley, Sophia, and Violet! These awesome girls celebrated their birthdays with a swim party, inviting their entire 5th grade class to bring donations for the Release Care Closet instead of receiving birthday gifts.

The result? An incredible collection of items for teens that will help make a difference for so many young people!

We are beyond grateful for your generosity, leadership, and caring hearts. Thank you for showing us that birthdays can be about giving as well as celebrating! Way to go, girls! 🥳

📚Back-to-School Bash at Sarpy County Juvenile Justice Center was a blast!🎒

A huge thank you to Tami Steensma & the JJC for allowing Release to be part of your annual Back-to-School Bash! We are grateful for our continued partnership and especially thankful for Chaplain Chris, who serves youth at the JJC and helps strengthen the connection between our organizations each day.

This community event was an incredible day of connecting with so many youth and their families as they prepared for the start of a new school year. Events like these remind us of the importance of community, encouragement, and ensuring every young person has the support they need to succeed. As students head back to the classroom, we wish them a year filled with growth, learning, and new opportunities! 🙏

Chilcare Center Update:

Our total campaign goal is $2,297,300. Thanks to generous lead gifts and early commitments, Release has secured $2,088,095.94, leaving only $209,204.06 remaining to complete the launch!!

These final funds will help complete the build-out, therapeutic spaces, equipment, furnishings, classroom materials, and start-up needs for the center.
