$300,000 raised for Curative Connections programs! ✨🌷

This year’s Garden Gala was an unforgettable night. We are blown away by the generosity of our community. Thank you to everyone who made the night possible, from our dedicated volunteers, who helped ensure the evening went smoothly, to everyone who donated or helped us put together some incredible auction items. A special thank you to our Curative Family Speakers, Chet and Becky Lamers, for sharing their caregiving journey.

We are still in awe of the night’s success, but the most important part was introducing more than 100 new people to what a special place Curative Connections is!

What a night! On Saturday, Sam’s NEW Dancing with Our Stars journey ended with a bang! Not only did he raise an incredible $48,571 for Curative Connections, he and his partner Maddy killed their performance 🕺🎊

We are so grateful to Sam for agreeing to support Curative on this journey and for being so awesome to work with these past few months. Our team had a blast at the event, and his performance was a perfect reflection of who he is as a person.

Thank you, Sam, for going all in on this experience and helping Curative Connections continue to provide affordable person-centered care.

There is still time to help Sam reach his goal and support him and Curative Connections at the event

We are so close to the big night! Last week, our dancer, Sam, and our incoming president and CEO, Kristal Knudtson, headed over to Shift Visuals to film Sam’s intro for NEW Dancing with Our Stars. They snapped some photos with the mirror ball trophy for a little motivation in this final stretch 🏆✨

The campaign ends Saturday, October 3, at the EPIC Event Center. All eight participants will perform the routines they have been perfecting over the past couple of months, followed by an awards ceremony to crown the winner. Sam is so close to reaching his fundraising goal! Help him get there by donating directly to his campaign or purchasing event tickets.
