Their donation amount and giving date represent important numbers in their lives. The contribution will support Howard Center’s critical work in the community that helps individuals and families with mental health, substance use, and developmental services.

We are grateful for their long-time commitment to our work and for their time and energy to fundraise on our behalf.”
