Water Gala Exceeds Fundraising Goals
Thank you to everyone who came out on a beautiful day last weekend to celebrate individuality at our annual Water Gala at the Aqua Aventure Water Park in Fremont, CA. Your support of our programs, like BoldJourney, and BoldQuest brings much needed improvement to the overall mental health of our local community and most crucially, our youth.
We set a goal of raising $10,000 and we MORE THAN DOUBLED that, thanks to everyone who supported, sponsored, or attended the event. And a big heartfelt "XOXO" to DJ Hightop (aka Miguel Fonseca) who donated his time to emcee and DJ the event.
We hosted loads of activities including singing, dancing and enjoying all the water features the Park had to offer.
We hope to have a whole slideshow full of great pics soon that will show off just how awesome this day was, but for now, here a just a few pictures of the day (the last one is our favorite!)
