Thank you for attending our 2026 Fundraising Banquets!
Due to your generosity, support and compassion we met our MATCH and surpassed our fundraising goal.
Just over $100,000 was raised!
THANK YOU!
For those of you who were unable to attend, we missed your presence but hope to see you next year!
A special thank-you to our passionate and inspiring speaker, Rev. Amos Gray; Nicholas Anderson of RoeKanuu Creative for our “Day at New Beginnings” video; Rich Cuisine Catering for the delicious meals; GRAOG for welcoming us into your beautiful church; and all our generous Table Sponsors and Prize Donors.
