You helped us DOUBLE our $10,000 fundraising goal!
To address current financial challenges, we planned this Masquer-AID to raise $10,000. We are proud to say we have more than DOUBLED that goal, raising $26,000!!
The Gala and fundraising effort demonstrated the importance and love of the community for the New Deal Café. Peoples contributions, which exceeded our expectations, varied based upon what individuals could afford, but all reflected the love they have for the Café. We received your love and support through donations, sponsoring the Ball, and your purchases in the John Guernsey Art Auction. Your support enables the Cafe’s award-winning music and arts program, to continue providing musical programming that brings people together and strengthens communal bonds.
The Wall of Fame Plaque will be unveiled at a special reception in January. There is still time to add your name to the plaque and sponsor New Deal Cafe music and arts program. Click the corresponding number to sponsor at the level that works for you:
