The Sequintennial Gala brought together a joyful crowd in patriotic attire, raised voices with Jennifer Grimm and Jordan Hedlund, and—thanks to Amanda Breininger’s moving appeal and your incredible generosity—raised over $100,000 in one evening, exceeding our goal. Additional gifts are still coming in.
Every dollar fuels programs like Kinder Konzerts and community engagement initiatives that open doors to music, imagination, and lifelong learning for children and families.
