Charity partnership

During registration, you will have an opportunity to support a local non-profit Interfaith Works. The goal of the charity partnership is to first and foremost to raise awareness of the services that IW provides to families in our area. In addition, we hope to raise funds that will directly support their efforts. Please consider making a donation when you register.
