One Last Chance (To Make an Impact and Treat Yourself)

July 23, 2025| Community, Fundraising

As our annual gala and auction comes to a close, there’s still an important opportunity to make a lasting impact, and we invite you to be part of it.

A critical fundraiser at our gala is our Fund the Mission campaign, which focuses on five key areas of need that support and strengthen our programs. These include upgrading outdated equipment, enhancing hands-on learning tools, and ensuring that every trip, lesson, and experience is as engaging and meaningful as possible. When you contribute to Fund the Mission, you're directly investing in the future of our programs and the communities we serve. Whether you choose to support one area or all five, your donation helps us continue the work that matters most.

In addition to supporting the mission, there are still a handful of fantastic items and experiences left over from the auction, and they’re available at set prices, no bidding necessary. These remaining opportunities include event tickets, local experiences, and more. These items are perfect for treating yourself, gifting to a friend, or simply enjoying something special while giving back. But don’t wait! They are first-come, first-served and only available for a limited time.

We also want to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone who helped make our gala & auction a success, from the attendees and sponsors to those who bid, donated, and cheered us on. Your support brings our mission to life, and we’re deeply grateful.

If you haven’t had a chance to get involved, now’s the perfect time! Help us fund the future, and don’t miss out on the chance to grab a meaningful experience along the way.
