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.

Her giving is deeply rooted in memory, justice, and gratitude—supporting local organizations that champion immigrant rights, empower women and girls, foster peace, and uplift artisans. Through the Foundation, she has found a trusted partner to help steward her inherited legacy into impactful community action.
