Thank You for an Incredible Winter Fundraiser

News

Thanks to this generous community, our winter fundraiser—Warmth. Dignity. Opportunity.—raised more than $100,000 to support Arlington children and families. This total includes a $20,000 matching gift from our founders and the Bergstrom Foundation, which inspired so many of you to give with extra heart and urgency. Every contribution, large and small, will help ensure students have coats that keep them warm, clothes that fit, and the confidence that comes from being able to show up at school ready to learn.

These dollars are already becoming real, tangible support: sturdy shoes for growing feet, warm layers for cold mornings, and everyday essentials that allow children to participate fully in school and community life. Beyond the clothing itself, your gifts send a powerful message—that our community believes every child deserves dignity and opportunity.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who donated, shared our message, and cheered us on. Because of you, thousands of Arlington kids will feel the comfort of warmth and the encouragement of knowing their neighbors care. Thank you for making this winter brighter for so many families.
