Last week I was honored to help out with the annual Vanessa's Promise luncheon. The event kicked off with a moving poem about the impacts of child abuse delivered by a young girl. I have to admit there may not have been a dry eye in the room. As the lunch progressed we were able to see video clips as well as hear yet another moving story delivered by grandparents that were re-introduced to the role of parenting. It was very powerful to listen as they described the events that occured placing them into the role of primary care givers for their newborn grandaughter. At the conclusion of the event it was amazing to watch not only my table members but others dig deep to ensure this critical organization not only sustains itself but has the resources to provide care for additional children. Thank you so much to the many Sterling Savings Bank employees who filled our three tables as well as all of the other table captains. Special thank you to Kristin and Kim for volunteering to join forces with this organization.
