This past weekend, as Project Inspire leadership and supporters came together in Washington, D.C. to celebrate 15 years of us doing great service to youth and communities around the country, we also celebrated us reaching and surpassing our $2,000 fundraising goal for this year’s campaign! Thank you for sending positive thoughts our way or contributing financially to our campaign!!!

Below, we’d like to send a very special thank you to a few people and organizations who made our event and campaign extra great!
