Dear Friends, 

After much thought and a number of unforeseen circumstances, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our May 2025 Advocates Gala. 

This was not an easy decision. We are deeply grateful to our incredible planning committee, host committee, and the entire community of advocates who make our work possible. We especially want to thank our 2025 Community Heroes honorees, Ava and Brooke Dabney, for their unwavering commitment and inspiration. 

While we will not gather in celebration this year, our need for support is as urgent as ever. If you are able, we humbly ask that you continue to stand with us by making a donation today—your contributions directly impact the lives of the young people and families we serve. 

We appreciate your understanding and hope you will plan to join us for our next gathering. 

With gratitude, 

CLC Team
