2020 Annual Grantee Recognition Breakfast - VIRTUAL EDITION!
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were unable to hold our Annual Grantee Recognition Breakfast to celebrate the work of our 12 grantees, so we took our celebration online. The weekend of May 15th we asked our supporters to dress up and show us the power of their purse and donate $12 in honor of our 12 grantees. Here are some of our favorites from that weekend!
