Dear friends and family,

It is with heavy hearts that we are sharing that due to the forecasted snow and concerns for everyone’s safety, tomorrow’s The Caroline Thome Angel Fund Benefit event has been canceled. This was an incredibly difficult decision.

We are so grateful to everyone who purchased tickets and to our generous sponsors who made this event possible. While we are deeply disappointed not to gather as planned, your ticket purchase will still go directly toward supporting the Down syndrome community and specifically Camp Brightside. Your generosity truly makes a difference.

Thank you for your understanding, your kindness, and your continued support. We look forward to seeing you next year and hope to come together again under safer circumstances.

Sincerely,
💜
Mandy and Julian Thome

Here's a Camp BrightSide video showing how your support is impacting the lives of our Down syndrome community. We can't wait to see you soon!

Camp BrightSide, a week-long sleepaway camp for individuals with Down syndrome, is possible thanks to the support of the Caroline Thome Angel fund.💙
