“As we enter our seventeenth year, we would like to take this time to reflect on the work the Foundation has accomplished in Joseph’s name. We are deeply grateful for our staff, boards, donors, and volunteers. Your unwavering belief in our mission and programs has been a guiding force in our work to build a more inclusive and accepting community. The Foundation’s extraordinary growth—serving over half a million youth—would not have been possible without you. With your continued support, we look forward to another year of educating and empowering youth through programming that fosters empathy, respect, and inclusion for all.”
