The SHINE Gala, held on June 5 at the picturesque La Caille, brought together a vibrant community of supporters to celebrate our mission and the hope and healing we strive to provide. Through the incredible generosity of attendees and sponsors, the event raised a record-breaking $1.2 million—surpassing our original goal of $850,000! These vital proceeds will directly support our outpatient family therapy services and therapeutic preschool program, making a meaningful impact in the lives of those we serve.
A highlight of the evening was the presentation of the annual SHINE Award to the Kem C. and Carolyn Gardner Family, honoring their outstanding support and unwavering commitment. Kimberly Gardner accepted the award on behalf of the family. The gala also featured powerful stories, a moving paddle raise, and an exciting live auction. We are deeply grateful for everyone who made the SHINE Gala a success—your support helps light the way for brighter futures!
