They packed-out the Salem Convention Center last Friday, June 2, to enjoy our first-ever ‘Fancy Friday’ featuring a lunch and a dessert on the same day. More than 1,000 folks cozied together to hear how SLF and its partners are impacting kids, families and neighborhoods across Salem-Keizer. Over the course of the evening we were able to demonstrate the power of SLF’s ‘Leverage Value’ through Lightning Rods (our field staff), CaN Centers (Churches serving as Neighborhood Centers), and CPTs (Community Partnership Teams). A dollar donated to our ministry turns into thousand of dollars through SLF leverage. As always, the highlight of the evening was the ‘Neighbor Stories’ that we captured and conveyed on film. This year we featured an original CaN Center (Trinity Covenant Church) and a currently-contracted CaN Center (New Hope Foursquare). Watch the stories here!
Maybe you weren’t able to make it this year … or you’re a former supporter who might invest again … or you’d like to contribute for the first time. We’d love to partner with you! See our donate page to lend your $upport!
Speaking of partners, we can’t end this recap of the 2017 Fancy Dessert without expressing a huge ‘THANK YOU’ to this year’s event sponsors. Great local companies who make a big impact.
