August 2023 Newsletter

We are keeping the same ENERGY from July to August and we’re ready to have a BALL.

The Energy Ball is our big moment in 2023 to celebrate this progress.

ReThink friends and supporters our fight and our work have never been more crucial and valuable.

If you, a business or individual would like to support the 2023 Energy Ball as a major sponsor, please contact Ben. Another form of support is a contribution to the silent auction. Both serve our mission and raise funds in extraordinary ways.

To help us with sponsorships, the silent auction, or to obtain physical marketing materials, please contact Ben.
