Sip, Sparkle & Support the Next 60 years
Wednesday, December 11th, 2024 at Glennpeter Diamond Center

For six decades, we’ve helped our Littles shine. Now, it’s time to honor this sparkling legacy and look ahead to a brighter future ushered in by new leadership, innovative programming, and the engagement of our brilliant community.

In 2024, we made a major pivot which increased the number of children served by nearly 50%, but we still have 200 Littles in need of a match. With every ticket, you’re helping to shape brilliant futures for Littles, our most precious gems.
