Discover What Lies Ahead!

As we travel through the journey of life, we encounter many peaks, valleys, and people along the way. Some encounters are brief, while others may grow into a relationship that could last a year, a decade, or even a lifetime. Each connection we make impacts our lives and adds profound meaning to our journey. These connections help us overcome obstacles, achieve our goals, and savor life's moments more fully. 

Join us as we celebrate the connections—between people, ideas, and communities—that make our lives meaningful. The Journey Continues, and together, we are stronger than ever. Highlights of the evening include a cocktail hour, a delicious dinner, an inspirational program, an exciting live auction, and more!
