The Partnership Challenge

A community answered the call

The Partnership Challenge began in 2023 with a vision of reaching at least 100 “Partners” – businesses, churches, families and individuals -- who would give at least $3,000 one-time or through cumulative gifts. We are excited to report that we reached our 100th Partner on October 5, 2025.

We would be honored to have YOU join this group of committed supporters as we set our sights on continuing this important work for generations to come.

To give a tax-deductible gift, follow the link below.
