A very happy belated birthday to our wonderful Noey! 🎉

If you know Noey, you know her warmth is real—she shows up every day with a full heart, and it makes such a difference for our team and the families we serve.

From the joy and connection she brings to FAMJAM, to the care and precision she puts into her work as our Billing Specialist, Noey does everything with kindness and intention. She makes people feel comfortable, welcomed, and valued—and that’s not something you can teach.

And of course, we would be remiss not to mention her incredible baking and cooking skills (we’re always ready to taste test! 😉).

We’re so grateful for you, Noey. We hope your birthday was filled with love—and that this next year brings you just as much joy as you give to everyone around you 💙

🎭 It’s opening night! 🎭

Tomorrow we close out Camp AUsome! WE:ACT Spring Break camp with our final performance at Wonder Theatre, and we could not be more proud of our campers.

Over the past week, these incredible kids have been building confidence, creativity, teamwork, and stage skills—learning lines, creating characters, making puppets, designing playbills, and supporting one another every step of the way. Watching their growth has been truly joyful.

Families and friends are invited to come celebrate their hard work and cheer them on as they take the stage! Tickets are FREE!
