Event Recap: Donor Appreciation Reception
Donor Appreciation Reception
Wednesday August 31, 2022
Santa Fe Botanical Garden
Generosity powers our work. To thank our exceptional community of supporters -- from longtime fundholders, to first-time donors and new members of our young philanthropist giving circle, and everyone in between -- we hosted a Donor Appreciation Reception at the breathtaking Santa Fe Botanical Garden. Thank you to the nearly 300 people who joined us. It was wonderful to connect as a community in person after so many virtual events following the pandemic.
Special thank you to YouthWorks for their delectable catering services and to the Academy for Technology & Classics Varsity Stringband for setting the scene with gorgeous music.
