We believe in an enduring kind of Christmas magic: a spirit that transcends Santa and sleigh bells to embody the heart of the holiday season. In short, we believe in the power of advocating for one another and supporting each other - in whatever ways we are able.
And the ways and means to give in our community abound. There’s deeply impactful work occuring in the Valley every day in service of causes that touch nearly every walk of life. And whether you’re a patron of the arts or animal advocate, a champion of children, or a challenger to homelessness, your contributions are profound.
