2015 Launch
Thank You for Joining Us!
Everyone has a choice to be positive: to see the positive in our own lives, and to be the positive for others. In 2016, let’s strive to make that choice every day as individuals and as a community.
Thank you for setting those intentions this evening by starting off the New Year supporting the work of these outstanding organizations. Your contribution truly makes a difference!

LifeWorks serves youth, young adults and families who want to change the direction of their lives, whether they are homeless, parenting or “aging out” of the foster care system. We offer 20 different results-focused programs – ranging from shelter, education and counseling to workforce development and affordable housing – all focused on helping clients find their path to self-sufficiency.
At LifeWorks, we believe in the transformational power of acceptance. We are fiercely committed to empowering our clients to find their path to self-sufficiency. And we are determined to have a positive, sustaining impact on our community that will last generations.
The Survive2Thrive Foundation’s mission is to provide life saving resources for wait-listed survivors of domestic violence and to provide continuing support to survivors whom have recently left their local emergency shelter.
Our focus is to create a network of resources that will propel them forward into their new lives without violence and abuse, with a new mindset, new goals, and exciting options for what their lives can be. The Survive2Thrive Foundation wishes to help survivors live life to the fullest – from survival mode to thriving mode. Our network does not only support domestic violence survivors in their recovery and getting back on their feet but rather aims to provide resources for when they are ready to move in a new direction.
