The Word is Out!

We officially made (and surpassed) our 2008 Christmas Campaign goal, and brought in 9 million dollars this Christmas season! I am amazed and inspired by the generosity of the community who gave to help others even though many of them were most likely in need themselves. I've talked to so many donors this season who have told me, "I realized that if I'm hurting financially, others are probably hurting even more, so I gave what I could, hoping it would make a little difference." Well, with so many people giving "what they could," a very big difference will be made in many people's lives. Please read this press release or this Star Tribune Article for details on how the goal was reached.
