Dear Friends of New Danville,
Last Friday's Spring Thing Luncheon was a beautiful day — and one we will not soon forget.
Our community came together at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott in the most meaningful way. You had the chance to meet our Wranglers and Mavericks, hear their stories, and feel firsthand the energy, joy, and purpose that define life at New Danville every single day. That spirit in the room? That is who we are.
Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us build a future where adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities continue to thrive in a vibrant, purpose-filled community. Your presence, your generosity, and your partnership make everything we do possible.
If you'd still like to make a gift in support of New Danville's Wranglers and programs, you can donate here:
