Participate in Our Community Luminaries Room Sponsorship Program at our New Space!
One of the exciting ways you can fill an unmet need, make a lasting impact and leave a legacy is by sponsoring the naming of rooms in our new space. We’re excited to launch our Community Luminaries Room Sponsorship Program: By participating, you will help us decide what to name our spaces, and your fund, business or organization will receive acknowledgement on signage in our building. Please contact Christopher, our Board President, if you’d like more information on this opportunity.
Also, we still have some move-related projects that are unfunded:
Three Owls or other hybrid units to outfit our meeting rooms for hybrid services: ~$4000 for project
Three wall monitors for meeting spaces: ~$1900 for project
Two computer stations for our youth space: ~$3500 for project
If you’d like to make a donation earmarked for one of these projects, please drop Lasara a note and they will get in touch to discuss which project(s) you want to fund, and set up your donation.
