THANKFUL FOR YOU!


Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered or helped Spectrum360 in 2022! So many of our community members came together to raise critical funds for our programs and services.


November was an exceptionally generous month. With the historic success of our Hall of Fame Dinner honoring Jerry B. Partlow and Jonah & Ellen Zimiles and our Giving Tuesday campaign, we raised over $260,000! This incredible support means the world to Spectrum360's students, adults and staff. The money raised is instrumental in ensuring Spectrum360 can provide the highest quality programs and services.  


Volunteer Opportunity:  Spectrum360 is establishing a Hall of Fame Volunteer Planning Committee. We are hosting our first zoom meeting on January 25th at 7 p.m. Contact Kerry Guzman at kguzman@spectrum360.org to get involved!
