The 2025 luncheon held in April was a heartfelt success. The day was filled with live music, meaningful stories, a shared meal, and powerful moments of learning. We were honored to screen the Ronald McDonald House trailer for Audrey’s Children and to connect in community with many of you—sharing hugs, memories, and hopes for the growth of a new chapter in this mission.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has contributed to both the scholarship and mission this year, and in years past. Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to award over $13,000 since the scholarship began four years ago. Your support is now helping to expand in new charitable efforts towards the mission in Max’s honor.

We invite you to take a moment to remember Max and the joy he brought to this world. This mission is about keeping his fun-loving spirit alive—it keeps us growing, healing, and lifting one another through both grief and hope. Together, we continue to support education, healing, comfort, and compassion.
