Our Hope Bag BINGO + Raffle fundraiser was filled with positive energy, generous hearts, and a shared commitment to making a difference. Because of this incredible community, we raised approximately $4,000 to help provide Hope Bags for local children receiving treatment at Albany Med’s Melodies Center.
One of the highlights of the evening was hearing from Mary Beth Nichols, who reminded us just how much these bags mean to the children and families who receive them. More than a bag of items, they’re a reminder that an entire community is standing behind them.
We are especially proud of our teen volunteers, whose compassion, creativity, and commitment to helping others continue to make a difference in the lives of local families.
Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, sponsored, and supported this event. We had so much fun and are incredibly grateful for each and every one of you.
A special thank you to Molly Popp’s Flower Shop for the beautiful floral arrangements that helped make the room feel so welcoming, and to Elizabeth Fox Photography for generously donating her time and talent to capture these memories.
Together, we’re bringing hope to local families when they need it most. ❤️🖤
