[Give Chances] October Newsletter 1 (Appreciation Night)

5th Annual Appreciation Night Recap
Together we celebrated, and together we move forward—building brighter futures. 

On September 25th, Give Chances proudly hosted its 5th Annual Appreciation Night at the DoubleTree Hotel in Fort Lee, NJ. 

More than 350 supporters, youth leaders, artists with developmental disabilities, and volunteers came together, bringing our theme—“Bridging Hearts, Building Hope – Together”—to life in the most meaningful way.

The evening was filled with unforgettable moments:

• Youth leaders raising their voices

• Artists with developmental disabilities sharing their artwork

• A heartfelt Heal the World sing-along

Youth Leaders: Chancemakers in Action

DD Artists & Their Creative Works

Special Guests & Music Performances

These moments reflected not only the journey we have walked together, but also the hope and promise of the future.

Most importantly, this special night was made possible because of your generous support.

All proceeds from the Gala will directly support:
• After-school learning and leadership programs for children and youth from low-income families
• Creative activities and exhibitions for artists with developmental disabilities
• Mentoring and family support services for households in need

Your generosity and encouragement are what keep Give Chances moving forward. We are deeply grateful, and we look forward to continuing this journey with you—bringing hope and opportunity to even more children and families.

With heartfelt thanks,
Give Chances
