We will OVERCOME 

I just wanted to reach out and let you know what a wonderful turnout and success our 7^th annual Celebration fundraising banquet was!  The fellowship, prayer, and wonderful feedback that we’ve received has been tremendously uplifting and was hopefully felt by all those in attendance.  For those that were unable to join us Thursday evening, we are blessed to be able to share a recorded version of the night’s events, which you can view here.  We heard so many positive comments about how inspiring and impactful our speaker, Steventhen Holland’s story was, that we wanted to be able to share it with everyone.  The video also includes the night’s entertainment from musicians Rick Ramirez and Tammy Frost. 

In addition, God continued to bless the SHARE Center through the generosity of our donors.  Some of you graciously contributed prior to the event, and we are so appreciative to you and to our Sponsors and Underwriters who ensured that 100% of the donations received would go directly to our services and families! During our event Thursday evening, our speaker, Steventhen, shared a goal of raising $317,000 that he wanted to help us raise.  That was based on what it will cost to operate the SHARE Center this year.  But our personal goal for the evening was to raise $103,000.  And we raised that and MORE!  Thanks to this incredible community, we raised just over $131,000!  In addition, several of you pledged to make an online donation following the event, so for those who chose to contribute in this way, please click here to make a one time or monthly contribution to our ministry.  We can not thank everyone enough for contributing your prayers, time, and contributions to the SHARE Center.  This event was two years in the making, after having to reschedule and then cancel it last year, so thank you all for making it such a wonderful expression of faith and God’s love in a time when faith and love is so desperately needed.    

With sincere and humble thanks,

Kim Barton
