Spark a Future 2021

We had such a great time at this year's Spark a Future, thank you to all of our sponsors and supporters!

Here’s what you missed:
  • Fun and games, including Heads or Tails prizes from Peter Franklin Jewelers
  • Delicious food and drinks catered by Club Soda
  • Musical entertainment from Alisha Pyle of the Sweetwater All Stars
  • Exciting silent and live auctions conducted by Jerry Ehle
  • Heartwarming video produced by PUNCH Films
  • Opportunities to support Early Childhood Alliance programs and services, including a Fund-a-Need segment

This special event is a great opportunity to support early education and the children and families right here in our community. Quality early education is not only the foundation to building better futures for young children but also the foundation of our community. When quality, reliable, and affordable early education programs are not available, we all suffer. Businesses lose productivity, parents lose income, and our future workers lose the opportunity to capitalize on their most important years of brain development.
