Our 20th Anniversary Celebration and Fundraising Campaign: Ensuring a Successful Future

In this 20th Anniversary Year of the program, we are looking toward the future and working to ensure continued services for another 20 years and beyond.  In partnership with the Delaware Community Foundation, we will establish a fund that we will build on each year, beginning with $50,000 to be raised during the 20th Anniversary Fundraising Campaign. 

We are excited to announce that Rita Stevens, Co-Founder and Vice President of Operations at Vantage Point Retirement Living has agreed to be our 20th Anniversary Fundraising Campaign Chair and has generously kicked off the campaign with a $10,000 donation on behalf of Vantage Point Retirement Living and the three Delaware communities: Meadowcrest of Middletown, and The Lodges of Coastal Delaware in Rehoboth Beach and Lewes.  Additionally, prior to the official beginning of the Campaign, Community ESL Advisory Board members pledged $7,000, and The Lutheran Church of Our Savior has gifted $5,000 to the Campaign.  Please contact Kate Cauley at katherine.luisa@gmail.com (937-469-1695) for additional opportunities to support our campaign.
