A Gathering of Good 2019

Thank you for another great year!

What a fun & inspiring night! You helped raise over $248,000 to support our work in the community.

We’re so excited to make even more of an impact this year in partnership with all of you. And we’re truly grateful you were there with us to celebrate another year of service and success.

Kelchie

2nd Grader Kelchie and her mother Noemi had a wonderful time at AGOG with Kelchie’s MFS Experience Corps mentor, Caroline Fuhrman. They danced and enjoyed Ruby Jewel ice cream after the dinner.  They are truly grateful for your support.  Watch the video again below!

“It’s important for children to learn how to read, because all of education is based on reading.” – MFS Experince Corps Mentor Caroline Fuhrman
