From the Development Desk at TIP:
This year, we had a tremendous response to our call for persons to assist with the Fall Luncheon by becoming a sponsor of the luncheon in an amount within one of four categories. Twenty-one sponsors lined up to underwrite the fabulous meal we enjoyed and encourage others to attend the no-charge luncheon. Almost iconic, the event is the highlight of our Fall Fundraising, our major one of the year.
We thank this year’s sponsors for their generosity–a purely simple kindness on their parts. With their assistance, we are able to dream and to plan our responses to meet both our present and future needs, always assisting immigrants and families to reconnect with community and service. As mentioned several times, our staff has more-than-tripled within three years to serve the needs of our local communities, as well as many new locations in the 82 counties south of I-80. There continues to be much to do–will you consider joining our sponsors in their support of our work?
