Thank You for Making the 2025 Forgiveness Luncheon Our Best Yet
We are thrilled to share that—with your incredible generosity—we raised over $218,000 at the 2025 Forgiveness Luncheon in support of Dismas House and our holistic reentry services. Because of you, more men will have the opportunity to rebuild their lives, reconnect with loved ones, and reintegrate into our community with dignity and purpose.
Breaking Barriers, Building Futures is more than a theme—it’s a movement. And it’s only possible because of people like you.
To our phenomenal event co-chairs, committed sponsors, engaged attendees, tireless volunteers, and devoted staff: thank you. Your energy, compassion, and belief in second chances brought this event to life and pushed it to new heights.
From the powerful stories shared to the unmistakable sense of hope in the room, your presence reminded us that healing and transformation happen when we come together.
Thank you for being an essential part of this mission. With your continued partnership, we’ll keep breaking down barriers and building brighter futures—one life at a time.
