Last night we had our annual grant celebration!

While we could talk for hours about the event, we think this quote from the evening sums it up:

"How often do you get this many dedicated, caring people and organizations in a room to support each other, their projects, and their work? What a night!"

A special thanks to Memorial Auditorium and Convention Center for hosting us, and to Angels Among Us for decorating and catering.
