On May 25th, 2024, our Cherish Walk event was a resounding success despite the bad weather. Although the community walk had to be canceled due to rain, our dedicated team ensured the show went on. The opening ceremony, lively performances, and engaging game booths captivated more than 150 enthusiastic guests, creating memorable moments for all in attendance.
We are immensely proud to have made this event a reality. Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to the esteemed politicians, talented performers, passionate participants, tireless volunteers, and our hardworking staff. Through their collective efforts, we were able to raise over $81,000 – a true testament to the generosity and community spirit of our supporters. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of the Cherish Walk, and we look forward to an even bigger and better event next time.
