All was merry and bright, despite the rainy night at GYP's Holiday Happy Hour last week. Thank you to everyone who joined us for GYP's holiday activities, appetizers from Fork It Up Sis, sweet treats from Bitzel's Chocolate, and a beautifully decorated atmosphere at the Lawrenceville Arts Center! With your help, we were able to raise $635 for Single Parent Alliance and Resource Center at the event. But wait, there's more - A generous donor has matched your contributions, and SPARC received a total of $1,270 to help single parents in Gwinnett! Thank you for your impact on these families during the holiday season. We hope you left inspired and with new connections as we wrap up the 2024 season. We'll be back with more Off The Clock experiences in 2025!
