“Fill the Gap” Fundraiser – A critical portion of our hot night gala. These are essential funds that we have to raise to bridge the gap between our local funding and the full cost of providing the essentials, meaningful programs and services, and opportunities for our clients. With the budget cuts to DDA, this fund is more important than ever before. Our goal this year is $125,000.00. If you are unable to attend the gala and would still like to donate, you can donate directly from the website linked above.
