A quick recap from our 2024 Feast of the Senses event: 

  • The Cat’s Pajamas Old School Jazz Band brought energy and fun, including a second line stroll through Excelsior before our program. 
  • Green Meadow Farm donated local Lancaster County farm fresh food! The event had fresh vegetables, cheeses, butter, gorgeous edible flowers, flour and cornmeal for the tortillas, grains, farm-raised beef brisket and other fresh ingredients. 
  • HK Keller Auctioneers for leading us in an interactive activity with guests using our bid cards to illustrate youth mental health needs among middle school and high school students in Lancaster County. Tim and Andy Keller also led our live auction and appeal, raising funds for our mission! Thank you to every generous donor who supports us! 
  • Our Rise Above Youth Summit student, Terrell and our Operations Manager, Amy Swanger had a great conversation on stage highlighting the pathway to become a licensed mental health provider through our various programs.
