Dear Community,

We’re still riding the high from Off to the Races—a night full of community and generosity. We’re thrilled to share that—thanks to your incredible support—we raised over $15,000 to be distributed directly to local individuals in crisis.

This night wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of our amazing sponsors. A heartfelt thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, Greet Bedford, for leading the charge and setting the tone for a truly impactful evening.

We’re also deeply grateful to Hotworks Bedford, London Family Orthodontics, The Elliott Health Solutions, Dew Collective, Eye Candy Balloons, The HYN Group, Karen Allard, and Eleve Photobooths for standing with us and helping bring this event to life.

To the many local businesses who donated silent auction items—thank you. Your kindness helped us create an exciting and successful fundraising experience that pushed us beyond our goals.

We’d also like to express our appreciation to our year-long Diamond, Gold, and Corporate sponsors, whose continued support sustains our mission throughout the year. Your generosity not only lifts up events like Off to the Races, but fuels the work we do day in and day out.

Every dollar raised will go toward vital assistance for local families—helping with utility bills, emergency aid, and other essential needs. Together, we’re making an immediate and meaningful impact.

Thank you for showing up, giving generously, and proving that kindness and connection are alive and well in our little corner of the world. We’re already dreaming about what next year will bring—and we can’t wait to see you there.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Erica, Stephanie, Brittany, Leah, Courtney, Heather, Olivia & Genevieve
