Hello everyone!
This year I am serving as a Fundraiser for NEPA Gives on behalf of United Neighborhood Centers of NEPA.

As a UNC employee, I’m excited to share that I am helping UNC reach our goal of $25,000 during NEPA Gives on June 6-7. This 24-hour event is a chance for us to make a real impact in our community. Every contribution gets amplified with bonus funds, making your support even more significant. ❤️

What an amazing partnership between Caesars Entertainment Foundation and Boys & Girls Clubs of America! It's heartwarming to see companies giving back to their communities and investing in the education of our youth. The STEM activity and Back to School Prep" Rally sound like such fun and engaging ways to support the kids. Thank you for sharing this inspiring story!
