Thank you to Ophelia Florals for donating flowers to make our night shine!
With just 63 supporters we raised $9141 plus we received over $4825 in pledges AND we had a $5000 match. That means that in 1 night we raised about $18,966 PLUS there was ANOTHER match. So that $4825 is $5000!!! Meaning, with just 63 individuals, we raised $19,141 last night. Every single dollar raised supports a young woman fighting to thrive in a world that's not built for her. Thank you for being a bright light in these dark times.
Again, there is an ongoing match from a local family fund that would like to remain anonymous. Meaning, that whenever you donate to Athena’s Warehouse, up to $5000 of all donations we collect each year will be matched! So if you gave $15 or you’re still looking to give, know that your gift is doubled!!!
As we enter into this month of thanksgiving let us be grateful, first, for the future we are building together, second for the land we inhabit and will pass down to future generations, finally let us be forever grateful for the stars above us which light up even the darkest environments.
Last night, many of you reading this message held up a light representing your commitment to educating, uplifting and inspiring tomorrow’s leaders. This is just the beginning!
