Because of you, families in our community have a trusted place to go for exceptional counseling support...even when they don't have insurance.

Because of you, our local schools have community mental health experts on hand and ready to offer crisis intervention...no need to negotiate.

Because of you, FSC raised over $250,000 ... this reflects a whopping 34% increase from last year! 🎶 THANK YOU for making this possible! 💙

You picked the songs.
We played the music.
Together, we made an impact...And had a great time!

Your donation = real change. We cannot express our gratitude enough to Vittoria Logli....SHE WON the 50/50 raffle and donated the $4,675 right back to FSC - which covers the cost of therapy for one family for six months. Simple math, life-changing impact. Thank you, Vittoria! Vittoria Logli Top Real Estate Team
