Thank you for joining us at the Horizons Spring Gala!
Because of your generosity, we raised a record-breaking $1.4 million to support children and families experiencing homelessness in Massachusetts. These funds will help Horizons provide the high-quality early education children need to learn, grow, and thrive, while supporting parents as they build brighter futures for their families.
