Celebrating a Year of Compassion
It was a night reflecting on a year of compassion, a first-of-its-kind event to end the year, an evening celebrating Aspire’s community support programs surrounded by artful entertainment and the magic of the winter season.
Aspire’s Compassion Gallery, presented by Nuvem, brought together staff, donors and partners to learn more about Aspire’s programs through testimonials and mission-focused stories. Attendees had the opportunity to interact with Aspire program leadership and hear from President and CEO Antony Sheehan.
“Creating healthy and thriving communities is not the responsibility or ability of one organization. Compassion Gallery was to serve as a reminder of that truth and the opportunities that exist when we lean in together to this work,” says Vice President of Strategy and Business Development Kevin Sheward. “This event was another step in bringing our community closer to incredible care offered every day through Aspire and lays a foundation for future opportunities to come alongside this work and be compassionate advocates in their own way.”
Guests were also able to enjoy THE LUME featuring “Dalí Alive,” an immersive digital experience showcasing original artworks with projections over the walls and floors as well as interactive spaces; and Winterlights, with nearly three million lights in a display of wintertime wonder.
“The event was a wonderful success due to the generosity of our sponsors,” says Director of Philanthropy Kasey Davis. “We appreciate them for allowing us the space to bring our mission to a new audience. The Aspire staff who supported the event — with their attendance and their participation — made the evening a next-level event. Our team is filled with deep gratitude for all those who came out to celebrate with us.”
