grit keeps us going!
growth * resilience * innovation * tenacity
Dear Friends,
Adults and children throughout our community rely on Berkshire South as a safe and welcoming place where they can thrive – connect with others, participate in its wellness and enrichment programs, perhaps enjoy a free weekly hot meal. To finance the important work it does, the Center depends heavily on the funds raised at our annual gala, where we typically raise over $100,000.
This is the time of year when we would usually be sending out invitations for that gala, but we’ve decided that Berkshire South will not hold the event in 2021. Instead of buying gala tickets, I’d like to encourage you to become a donor to Berkshire South’s GRIT Campaign. On the left, you will find links to several donation opportunities for your consideration.
Please help us celebrate the Growth, Resilience, Innovation and Tenacity that Berkshire South has shown over the last year and a half and help us continue to be the strength, heart and soul of our community at this time when GRIT is most greatly needed.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Jenise Lucey
Executive Director
