Gratitude for Grand: Give a High Five for Health

6th Annual Gratitude for Grand:

Give a High Five for Health

Our annual online fundraiser September 11–26 was a huge success!

We are very thankful for all who gave High Fives/donated and also for our generous event sponsors.
Your support helps us continue to make an impact in our community. Thank you!

We are having so much fun processing all the High Fives that folks gave to community members, businesses and organizations to show their gratitude to anyone who supports them in living happy and healthy lives. At the same time, your donations will support our organization’s efforts to help everyone in our community have what they need to thrive and be healthy. Thank you to all who donated and to our amazing sponsors too.
