As 2025 came to a close, a room filled with families, youth, clients, friends, and community members gathered for a second annual end-of-year celebration, an evening defined by warmth, creativity, and shared pride.
More than a holiday event, the night honored growth, healing, and resilience. Youth took center stage, proudly showcasing artwork developed through art therapy classes during a learn-and-paint activity. One of the most moving moments came as they modeled their pieces in front of loved ones, welcomed by cheers that spoke louder than words.
The energy continued with a vibrant dance performance, reflecting months of dedication, teamwork, and confidence. Between performances, guests shared food and snacks, including popcorn, creating space for conversation and connection. Smiles widened when Santa made a special appearance, capturing joyful photo moments with youth and their families.
The evening offered a simple but powerful reminder: when young people are supported, seen, and celebrated, they thrive. It was a fitting way to close the year together, grateful, and looking ahead to continued growth in the year to come.
