Happy 2021 to you all! We have decided to refer to this year as “Hindsight is 2020” in the hopes that we will use what we have learned from our experiences in the past year as we move forward.

Due to the continuation of COVID-19 protocols, we have opted to make our 30th Anniversary Gala Fundraiser on Saturday, June 5th a virtual event, ensuring the health and safety of our friends, families, and supporters.

I am so very proud of The Phoenix Center’s students, their families, and staff for coming together to make the learning experience so robust and engaging. We could not have done it without everyone’s dedication, out-of-the-box thinking, and Herculean efforts.

Equally as important are the contributions of our donors and sponsor community. We so appreciate the long-term involvement of Modera Wealth, TradeWeb, and UBS in our holiday cheer efforts, to our longest-standing supporter, the Columbia Bank Foundation, who is the title sponsor of our Gala event, and Thomas J. Kemly, CEO and President, and our honoree.

Together, we will weather the storm, rise and soar, like the ancient phoenix our name is taken from. I invite you to contribute in any way you can…a silent auction item, a sponsorship, or a gift and/or ad in honor of a loved one. 

Remember, though we may not all be able to be physically together often, our virtual door is always open to you. Please call or email us with any questions you may have. Until next time, take care, be well and stay connected.

With gratitude,
Julie Mower, M.A.Ed.
Executive Director
