Reaching New Heights
What a night we had on March 26th! As the final gala of a three-year fundraising series, Reaching New Heights delivered far more than we could ask or imagine.
Members of our community showed up with hearts of generosity ready to support The Keyes Ingredients. Guests had a blast participating in our silent auction and raffle activities. We added plenty of live music this year featuring Divisi Strings. Signature drinks were a hit at the bar, and the coffee station sponsored by Pura Vida Coffee was hopping!
We still hear guests raving about Amrina and their elegant dinner – that chocolate mousse, to die for! Brittany Franklin from SkyHigh for Kids, a beloved partner nonprofit organization, brought the energy as our MC. All of this took place in a beautiful venue made possible by our friends over at The Peach Orchard.
This was a record gala in terms of sponsorship. Our event sponsors contributed a total of $97,000 toward our event, covering our event costs with plenty of room to spare. We are so grateful to all our sponsors.
We were delighted to feature Lara & Luis Guerra as our guests of honor and the Hill family as our story spotlight. These people continue to inspire us to keep doing what we do.
Our paddle raise moment brought tears of joy to our eyes as more than $105,000 was raised through generous donors in attendance.
We are thrilled to present to you the results from our fifth annual fundraising event: Reaching New Heights raised $302,737 to support The Keyes Ingredients!
Our team could not be more grateful to our board, staff, and committee for making his event possible. We cannot express our gratitude for the generosity of this community. And of course, we could not have done it without our beloved event vendors and volunteers.
From all of us at The Keyes Ingredients - thank you for your continued love & support!
