The Power to Soar Campaign, a $20 million campaign that launched in 2011 and was completed last year, helped us reach more individuals with our life-changing programs, achieve the financial sustainability we need to continue our work into the future, and increase the impact of our work by making it possible to share our expertise with new individuals and communities.
