RFL's Night in the Park Raises $69,338!

Thank you to all the wonderful attendees and generous donors of RFL's 2023 Night in the Park & Backstage Garden Party at Demens Landing Park on Wednesday, April 12, 2023!

We appreciate all who braved the not-so-ideal weather to join us at our Backstage Garden Party before the show as well as the amazing performance of American Stage's Ragtime the Musical. Special thank you to everyone who donated (at the event and from home!) to our Give from the Heart challenge, which raised a total of $24,985 thanks to our generous matching donors Raymond James and Bill & Kathy Stover! All in all, the entire event raised a total of $69,338 to support the mission of Ready for Life. Together, we are Changing Lives!

Huge thank you to all our event sponsors, community partners, and dedicated volunteers; we couldn't do this without you!
