Upward Transitions would like to extend a very special “thank you” to the Rick and Patricia Ayling Holiday Party for making our Calendar of Sharing a special part of their annual get together. What a fun way to collect donations for people facing housing instability! It’s even more fun when the donations are collected in secret to surprise two of your guests: Periann Pulliam, CEO of Upward Transitions and Conna Dewart, Development and Public Relations Manager.
“I for one am so very grateful for this wonderful group of friends!” said Pulliam. The surprise and the generosity of the display nearly brought Pulliam to tears.
Each year, groups of friends, family, and coworkers get together to collect donations for the Calendar of Sharing to make life a little bit more comfortable for our neighbors experiencing housing instability. Upward Transitions encourages you and your group to take pictures together as you participate and send them to us at info@upwardtransitions.org, so that we may share them here, and on social media and give you special thanks for joining us in being agents of hope in our community.
