Thank you for the energy, innovation, and heart you all bring to this work. You are helping build a stronger, more connected community for everyone and we couldn`t be more grateful for your support. ❤️
Our Campaign Celebration was filled with laughter, connection, and so much community spirit — a true reflection of what our Community Campaign is all about.
Together, we raised an incredible $1.56 million to support vital programs across Peterborough & the County. This impact belongs to all of you.
We were proud to celebrate the leadership that made it all possible — including our Campaign Chair Paul Rellinger, whose steady, thoughtful presence helped guide this year’s success, and our CEO, Jim Russell as he prepares to retire after years of remarkable service and dedication to this community.
And if you know Paul… you also know he may have accidentally become the star of a few campaign moments along the way 👀
