We can’t gather together in-person for our Celebration dinner this year, but that doesn’t mean our donors can’t work together to help our community. These wonderful donors donated the cost of dinner registration, $60/person, to help us get a jump-start on our 2021 grant pool. Each donation is matched dollar-for-dollar by The Emily Fund. Dinner Donors are recognized here.
