We are thrilled to celebrate our staff and board, whose leadership, passion, and commitment powered the success of the 11th Spirit of Provident Gala. Because of you, 504 guests rallied behind our mission in an unforgettable show of support for the people and families we serve. With 92 auction itemsand more than 1,100 bids, the evening generated over $625,000 in gross revenue, including $351,125 for Fund-A-Need, and counting. The energy in the room was a testament to the confidence our community has in your work and the difference it makes every day.
As Sam Zeller of Team JAKEY shared, “This work matters. Because when someone says, ‘I don’t know how to go on,’ it matters that someone can answer with compassion … not judgment. When a teenager doesn’t know where to turn, it matters that they can walk into an access center and be heard. When an adult feels overwhelmed, it matters that affordable care exists, so cost isn’t a barrier to getting help.” We are proud to be in this work together with YOU, changing lives and saving lives!
