What Happened

On February 7, 2025, we packed the Cecchetti Residence in for our First Friday fundraiser, themed “Love at First Down: A Super Bowl Valentine’s Tailgate”.

Key Moments

  1. Community Speeches
    • Attendees shared what Elevate means to them.
    • “Community does matter. Without community getting together, there’s no hope for anyone.”
  2. Food, Drinks & Football Fun
    • Guests wore team jerseys or Valentine’s colors.
    • Enjoyed tailgate-style food and drinks (included with the $25 entry).
  3. Plumbmerica Partnership
    • Our sponsor, Plumbmerica, helped create a welcoming space.
    • 100% of funds raised support Elevate’s mission.

Why It Mattered

  • Raised critical funds: Every raffle and $25  entry ticket helped us continue our work.
