Over 200 supporters of our organization enjoyed good food, good company, and great singing at our 2013 fundraising luncheon, “It’s About the Journey.” The success of the event can be measured by the more than $90,000 raised to support our work of providing a quality life for those with developmental disabilities, as well as by the many smiles from the touching story of LEO’s history, as told by Rose and Leo Finnegan, and the inspiring performance by the Issaquah Parks and Recreation chorus class for those with special needs.

Master of Ceremonies John Curley kept everyone entertained while also accurately describing the ever growing needs of the special needs community that LEO works so hard to support. The chorus’ touching rendition of the Josh Groban song,   “You Raise Me Up,” as directed by Sue Vigal and Howard McOmber, reflected the appreciation our organization, and those we serve, feel for all of our wonderful supporters.

Our sincere thanks go out to our sponsors and our raffle prize donors for their generous contributions. We would also like to express our heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, and to those who sent donations to support our mission of building a caring, supportive community for our most vulnerable citizens. With your support, we are now closer than ever to our goal of a fourth adult family home, which will make dreams of independent living come true for five more young adults.
