Thank You for Making our 2023 More Than A Caregiver Retreat a Life Changing Event

Nearly 250 lives were changed.

Thank you. My business partner Amanda DeLuca and I use those two words often, but they never quite seem to be enough.

As we think back on our second annual caregiver retreat, we are filled with so much gratitude that it’s hard to properly express it in words.

Last year we held our first caregiver retreat and served just over 100 female caregivers. This past April, we had nearly 250 women join us in Minnesota for two days of programming.

When I think back to 2022 and remember how unsure we felt, wondering how this community would respond to our first ever in-person retreat of this kind – we are in awe.  The feedback we received was that the event was life changing on many levels. It was needed. It was loved. It was appreciated.

Whether you made a cash donation, attended the retreat, or gave an item for the giveaways, YOU helped us change the lives of these women. For this, we thank you.

While we celebrate the fundraising success of the evening, we must also give thanks to those behind the scenes. The months and days leading up to an event like this are filled with hours upon hours of hard work. It is in those days and hours that we once again recognize the true heart of the people who made this event possible. Thank you to Theresa Duffy for all the hours of hard work you put in to make this event happen. And to those who helped us gather items for giveaways, pack swag bags, transport items, and more. Thank you. We couldn’t have done this without you.

Stay tuned for updates on our 2024 Care for the Caregiver retreat.  Hope to see you all there again. And check our foundation page for information about our upcoming camp retreat at Moon Beach.
