2025 annual stay in school awards gala

thank you for joining us!

Dear Supporters,

On behalf of the entire Lend A Hand Foundation team, thank you for attending our 26th Annual Stay in School Awards Gala and for your continued support of our mission. Celebrating 26 years of one of our most impactful initiatives gave us a moment to reflect—not only on the accomplishments of our organization, but more importantly, on the countless lives we've had the privilege to touch.

Our organization's name, "Lend A Hand Foundation" is widely known to represent our organization's efforts to uplift those we serve, but just as importantly, it reflects the compassion and generosity of supporters like you—those who have stepped in, time and time again, to lend a hand when it was needed most.

This work is not done alone. It is a true community effort, upheld by every corporation, organization, department, business, and individual who has joined us in making a difference.

We are deeply grateful for your partnership!

Our Stay in School initiative exists because we believe every student deserves to feel prepared, confident, and supported throughout their academic journey. These formative years shape more than just academics—they build work ethic, self-esteem, and dreams for the future. Thanks to your support, we are able to continue uplifting and empowering students across our community.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for being a vital part of this journey. Together, we are uplifting futures, one hand at a time.

With gratitude,

The Lend A Hand Foundation Team
