The foundation's 20th anniversary was celebrated with a fantastic evening

The board would like to extend a big thank you to all the artists and volunteers who helped make the performance and anniversary spectacular. Without your hard work, your time, your enthusiasm, your patience and your hard focus, the evening would not have been as successful as it used to be. Thanks also to all our contributors to our “Silent Auction”, which was a resounding hit. There were an incredible number of things to offer at the auction, ranging from beautiful paintings, to elegant jewelry, delicious experiences, fresh drinks, books and over to a chick dress, and much much more. Thanks.
