Celebration event of the Transforming Futures Campaign

Thank You To Everyone Transforming This Vision into a Reality

We are deeply grateful to the generous supporters who believed in this vision from the very beginning. When the Transforming Futures Campaign was still just an idea, these donors stepped forward to help make it possible. Their early investment turned a vision into a reality and is helping build new opportunities for young people across Lake County.

We look forward to this list continuing to grow as the YouthBuild Lake County community comes together to build the future.
