A heartfelt thank you for a month of Focus on Hope!
We're thrilled to share the exciting success of the Focus on Hope Luncheon and month-long Challenge! The luncheon was filled with impactful discussions, connections, and overwhelming support for youth who are grieving in our community and the challenge pages raised significant support from friends and family far and wide.
Thanks to the generosity of our community, the money raised will directly benefiting Dougy Center's vital services. This achievement wouldn't have been possible without the incredible support of people like you, who attended the luncheon and/or hosted a Dougy Center Focus on Hope Challenge page!
