NONE OF THE HIGH HEELS OR NECKTIES, ALL OF THE IMPACT
Thursday, April 23
Originally scheduled for May 9 in Colorado, the Lantern Gala shifted to a virtual ballroom
with table hosts inviting and fundraising throughout the month of April, which culminated in an
interactive “Facebook Live” event with a mobile paddle raise on April 23.
As a result, the LFTI family of supporters raised funds to care for 202 children! Thank you!
