What a Kick-off!!

Our hostess, Denise, who made it all possible!
The Lift a Life capital campaign kick-off in San Luis Obispo May 4 launched us into a whole new stratosphere!  In addition to the incredible hacienda setting nestled in the rolling California hills, the event itself was fun, festive, and super successful.   The music of renowned Los Angeles jazz musician, Chuck Manning, filled the air as guests mingled, sampled tempting hors d'oeuvres, and learned more about the programs sponsored by HealthEd Connect. 

We are incredibly excited as we think about the million opportunities to  Lift a Life afforded by meeting our goal of raising $1 million dollars.  An incredible ROI as lives are changed forever!  As Michael Lewis so eloquently reminded us "It's been said many times that charity is about helping the poor, and that justice is about asking 'Why are there so many poor?'  Both are crucial, but the latter is what energizes me.  That's the journey HealthEd Connect is on.  Please sign me up for that journey!"
