Message From the President

The numbers are finally in, and I am so incredibly happy to share that this year's Trivia Night was an even greater fundraising success than last year!

​

Going into this event, I will admit I was a little nervous. With the rising cost of living and so many families' facing financial uncertainty, I wondered how that might affect people's ability to give. But once again, our amazing community showed up in ways that exceeded our expectations.

​

Not only did we raise more money than last year, but we also received more donations! At a time when so many are facing challenges of their own, that generosity means more to us than words can express.

​

What makes this especially meaningful is knowing that people continue to show up for our mission, even when times are difficult. Whether you attended Trivia Night, made a donation, sponsored, volunteered your time, helped spread the word, or supported us from afar, please know how deeply appreciated you are.

​

And to our wonderful participants, you are the heart of everything we do. You remind us every day why this work matters and why we must continue advocating, educating, and building a community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

​

I feel incredibly blessed to be part of an organization surrounded by such compassionate, generous, and dedicated people. Your kindness and support are never taken for granted, and I hope you know just how much of a difference you make.

​

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in Connect to Community, for believing in the individuals and families we serve, and for continuing to stand alongside us.

​

We are truly blessed to be part of such an extraordinary community. 

​

With heartfelt gratitude,

​

Shawna Ross
President, Connect to Community
