A huge THANK YOU to Sportsman's Holiday Court Princess Victoria (Tori) Victor for selecting the Sweet Home Community Foundation (SHCF) as your local nonprofit and raising over $1,000 to support our mission!

We were truly honored to accept your generous donation and were so impressed by your thoughtful speeches, confidence, and poise at the Coronation a few weeks ago.

Congratulations on all you've accomplished! Thank you for your dedication to our community and for making a meaningful difference. We wish you all the best.
