As long­time sup­port­ers know, each year, in the mid­dle of spring, we hold a major event to thank our sup­port­ers and raise mon­ey to sup­port our work. It takes the com­bined strength of our board, staff, and con­trib­u­tors to orga­nize, but it’s always been an extreme­ly suc­cess­ful event, and we’re con­fi­dent it will con­tin­ue to be.
