A note from the DASCH Foundation’s Chief Development Officer, Dorothy Ross.

Dear guests, sponsors, and donors of the 2024 DASCH Possibilities Gala,

I am overwhelmed with gratitude as I sit down to express my heartfelt appreciation to each and every one of you for your unwavering support and boundless generosity.

Thanks to your remarkable contributions and steadfast dedication, we have gone above and beyond our goals, surpassing last year’s achievements with an astounding fundraising total of over $510,000!

This remarkable figure, exceeding our previous record by over $100,000, stands as a testament to the incredible power of collective action and shared commitment to our cause.

Many thanks to the volunteers in the DASCH Community for making the night a huge success!

Your generosity is not just a number on a balance sheet; it represents hope, opportunity, and transformation for the children, youth, and adults with intellectual disabilities and the families DASCH is proud to serve.

Because of your support, we can continue providing them with the resources, care, and opportunities they deserve to embrace their full potential and thrive in every aspect of their lives.

Every dollar raised at the Possibilities Gala is a step forward on our journey towards a more inclusive, compassionate, and equitable future for all.
