LSSI True Friend Celebration Logo

LSSI hosted its 40th annual True Friend Celebration - Traveling Route LSSI!

LSSI would like to thank everyone who participated in this year's event in support of our Community Children's Services. We'd like to thank the Women's Network, which founded True Friend, the LSSI Board of Directors, the Cornerstone Foundation Trustees, the Associate Board, our corporate and individual sponsors, watch-party hosts, donors, Paybee, Rick Steves, Rev. Peter Marty, Tim Frakes, and Pastor Brian Wise.

We honored Beverly Moody and the life of Richard Moody with this year's True Friend Award.

We couldn't do what we do without your support!
