We are excited to share our 2023 Annual Report, celebrating the transformative changes and new initiatives that have strengthened our organization over the last year. This year’s theme, Building Community, highlights our progress in executing our strategic plan. We expanded our Crew, implemented a new grant Framework, led Community Projects, and devised Future Plans. Like any building process, we encountered growing pains, but our solid foundation enabled us to adapt and thrive. Our success is a testament to collective efforts, vital partnerships, and your generosity. Click the graphic above to learn view. 

Get ready for Extreevaganza 2024, this year’s event promises to be more exciting than ever! Registration opens Tuesday, October 8th, 2024.
