School Soirée: Thursday Night Lights was a record night! We’re still replaying the highlights. More than 450 guests came ready to play and brought all the team spirit.

Here are some of our favorite moments:

WATCH: Relive the best plays of the night!

With your help, we’re not just staying in the game - we’re making serious strides toward meeting children's health, hunger, and hygiene needs this school year. That’s the real game-changer.

Because of you, children feel welcome. They have the dignity to choose. Because you, they have hope and the space to dream.

Thank you for being a helping hand.
