Past Annual Luncheons

2025 Luncheon Recap

The 2025 Strength in the Face of Adversity luncheon was an inspiring and impactful gathering, bringing our community together in support of a powerful cause. Guests were treated to a moving performance by acclaimed musician Nathaniel Rateliff, whose soulful presence and heartfelt music added depth and emotion to the event.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, the luncheon raised $745,000 through sponsorships, a paddle raise, and a live auction. These funds will directly support our mission and expand the reach of our programs.

In addition to this fundraising accomplishment, we were able to honor an individual who has provided steadfast support to uplift our mission for more than a decade, Mimi Roberson, with the Healing Hand Award.

Thank you once again to our Honorary Event Co-Chairs, William Matthews and Laura Barton, for their hard work and support leading up to this event.
