🎉 It’s been a party around here this week—literally! We’ve been up to our elbows in streamers, orange flags, and all things festive as we give our event space a serious splash of fun!

We can’t wait for you to see the transformation on Friday, June 13, during packet pick-up and the fundraiser dinner for all our incredible participants who raise $200 or more. Think of it as a pre-party to the main event—a night to celebrate YOU and all the good we’re doing together!

Come ready for good vibes, great company, and a whole lot of HOPE!

Check out this weekend’s full event schedule here.

SEE YOU THIS WEEKEND!

Let's Build a Stronger Community with a MATCH from Okland Construction!

Get ready to double the impact of your generosity with Okland Construction! Starting now, Okland Construction is matching all donations, up to $100 per donation, until funds are exhausted! $5 becomes $10, $25 becomes $50, and $100 becomes $200 (which means you’d get an invite to our fundraising dinner tomorrow evening during packet pick-up!).

Known for its legacy of innovation, integrity, and craftsmanship, Okland has been constructing more than just buildings since 1918—it’s building a stronger community! Still family-owned and rooted in values of honesty and efficiency, Okland cherishes partnerships that create spaces for learning, healing, and celebrating.

Now, they’re inviting you to join this mission. With their help, your contributions will go twice as far. Let’s rise to the challenge and make a difference together!
