Heartfelt Thank You for Your Incredible Support at the 2025 Bash!
We are deeply grateful to our amazing guests, generous sponsors, dedicated donors, and passionate volunteers who made The Bash truly unforgettable! Your energy, enthusiasm, and generosity filled the night with magic, all in support of our participants and families.
Thanks to your kindness—through ticket purchases, donations, and sponsorships—more than $175,000 was raised to advance our mission & vision! A part of that total included the Raise the Paddle, which brought in $48,500—and with a generous $10,000 matching gift from Tom and DonnaLee Itrich, the total soared to $58,500!
Your generosity humbles and inspires us. Thank you for making a lasting impact!
