We’ve been reflecting on the nonprofit organizations that have shaped our story along the way, including past beneficiary partner SAFEchild who partnered with Band Together in both 2008 and 2021.
The photos featured here take us back to May 10, 2008, when our community came together to raise more than $109,000 for them!
Former Executive Director Cristin DeRonja's remarks have stayed with us: “Band Together is not a fly-by-night musical gig, but a long-term commitment to our community.”
Over the years, we’ve seen firsthand how strong community partnerships can create lasting impact far beyond a single event or fundraising campaign. SAFEchild’s return as an Impact Partner in 2021 is a testament to the enduring relationships that make our work possible.
To hear that Band Together helped “make magic for an eternity” for children and families in our community is something we don’t take lightly.
We’re grateful to SAFEchild and every nonprofit partner that has trusted us to stand beside their mission over the last 25 years. ❤️
