We want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to everyone who participated in the Edwards Center “Living Our Best Lives” Annual Benefit Luncheon. Your support as sponsors, donors, raffle ticket purchasers, auction bidders, volunteers, and staff was invaluable in making the event a success! 

We invite you to watch Tim’s inspiring story, which was presented at the luncheon, showcasing the difference our work makes in the community.

We are thrilled to announce that our Lucky Raffle Winner is Ticket 127 – Barbara Dobroth! Barbara is getting her passport ready for an unforgettable escape to the elegance and grandeur of Victoria, Canada, at the Fairmont Empress. Congratulations, Barbara! 

If you didn’t get a chance to contribute during the luncheon, there is still time to give to support our mission of providing a lifetime of hope for individuals with diverse abilities. Your contributions make a lasting impact! 

We would also like to extend our warmest congratulations to this year’s Shining Star Award recipient, Gail Grodem. Gail consistently advances the mission of the Edwards Center through her support as a volunteer and board member, as well as her role as a Vox House representative for two homes. 

Her commitment to ensuring that residents without family members are celebrated during Christmas and on their birthdays exemplifies her compassion. Additionally, Gail has graciously opened her home for fundraising events and has generously donated to enrich our activities and monthly events. Thank you, Gail, for your dedication and for embodying the spirit of our mission!

Be sure to check out the photo gallery from the event to relive the wonderful moments we shared. 

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the hilarious comedian Susan Rice for sharing the gift of laughter with us at the luncheon. Her comedic talent not only entertained us but also brought joy and lightness to the event, creating an unforgettable atmosphere.
