OUR SECOND-ANNUAL VIRTUAL SOCIAL EVENT WAS A BLAST!
Thank you to all who attended either time option on Tuesday, August 31, 2021, and took part in the games, conversation, and entertainment on our second-ever IS & RESO virtual summer social.
Huge Support of our Mission
We are so excited to share that our raffle raised $12,360 for our Mission Ambassador charity partner YWCA of Spokane to support their programs for women and families escaping intimate partner violence. If you missed either of the information session with their representatives, you can now watch the recording to learn more about this issue and their programs we’re helping support.
Winners of our drawing will be announced on our Sept. 23 IS & RESO Open Forum.
Amazing Participation
We had 668 caregivers join our US morning/Hyderabad Providence Global Center “Main Lodge” session (+93% from last year) and 534 join our US afternoon “Main Lodge” session (+43% from last year). We also had strong participation from RESO, which was great to see!
A Big ‘Thank You’ to our Committee and Volunteers
Thank you to our planning committee, games/event facilitators, and other volunteers who put so much creativity and thoughtfulness into the social.
I want to say a special THANK YOU to all of you for making this happen. This is a wonderful way to support Providence’s Mission and bring us together as one BIG IS & RESO organization that spans multiple cities, states, and continents. None of this would be possible without your engagement and passion to make this a fun and worthwhile experience. I know this required many very early meetings (or very late for India), great creativity, and all of you to go above and beyond contributing to this. Your work with this is really inspiring and energizing.
