The power of alignment

We are weeks away from a major celestial event and moment in history. As an anticipated 500,000 visitors flock to our region, public schools close, and hundreds of community organizations prepare events and eclipse glasses distribution, we wait in excited anticipation for the solar eclipse!

As you witness the moon aligning with the sun for 3 minutes and 38 seconds, think about the power of alignment. Our communities' challenges and obstacles sometimes overshadow the light of hope and possibility. We can address our most pressing challenges when we align our resources, talents, and passions.

Imagine what’s possible when we connect our shared resources to eclipse our greatest challenges.

We create a brighter tomorrow when we align.

Thank you for your continued involvement—whether engaging in our 2024 campaign, joining a Day of Caring team, or amplifying the program's work with multi-year grants.

May we always strive to shine as brightly as the sun, even in the face of temporary shadows.
