This year has been an incredible year of growth and expansion. There is excitement, energy, and momentum launching us into the new year and we couldn’t be more thrilled! However, we can’t let 2022 pass without expressing deep gratitude for our donors who made it all possible. Due to the generosity of each individual, organization, foundation, and business who supported us this year, we were able to accomplish incredible things. Here are some highlights:
