Friday, September 4

A huge thank you to all who made Saturday's inaugural A Taste of Magic such a success! Every guest, donor, sponsor, talent, volunteer, auction donor, and teammate helped create a truly magical and impactful evening. To see the support in the room to help support young adults as they take their next steps was incredible!

Final event results, photos, and additional highlights will be shared in our September Newsletter. In the meantime, check out this week's progress as we move ever closer to opening the doors for young adults.

And mark your calendars! In our next edition of Forward Friday on September 18, we'll be sharing a curated wish list to help equip the Independent Living Program.
