We did it! SELA reaches divisional fundraising goal
We are deeply grateful to our sponsors, friends and supporters who donated to our 1st divisional End of Year Appeal, in support of our national Client Needs Fund. Just as with all contributions from friends and supporters, these gifts have made – and will continue to make – a real difference in the lives of the people we serve! We wish to recognize all who gave so graciously and made our 1st divisional fundraiser a big success!
In keeping with our campaign promise, our wonderful sponsors will be published in a full-page, full-color thank you ad in both the Hammond Daily Star (Sunday, January 28) and the Ponchatoula Times (Thursday, January 25). Their names will be listed in our first recognition plaque, which will be displayed in our Ponchatoula office conference room. We also wish to recognize our Friends and Supporters, who helped us reach – as well as to exceed – our local goal of $10,000!
