Supporters of The Family Access Network (FAN) Foundation gathered virtually recently to celebrate the Fourth Annual Redmond Luncheon fundraiser. With almost 100 website visitors, this event raised over $32,000 for Redmond FAN. SunWest Builders provided the Title Sponsorship for the fourth year. The other monetary and in-kind event sponsors were key to making the event possible. The generosity of individuals who made one-time and sustaining donations were essential to helping FAN reach our fundraising goal; furthermore, new monthly gifts were matched by MonteVista Home, doubling the impact.
“The generous support of the Redmond community could not come at a better time, as we continue to assist families disproportionately affected by the pandemic. We could not do this very important work without the generosity of local donors, helping Redmond children thrive in school and beyond. On behalf of the FAN Foundation, we would like to thank all of our incredible donors, sponsors, and table captains who made this event possible. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of Redmond area kids and families.” — Julie Lyche, FAN Executive Director.
