Connections of Hope

Thank You To Our Friends 

Our hearts are filled with gratitude tonight for all that you've done and for all that you are.

Thank you for every gift we have received tonight: your time to hear our story, your treasures to support our work, your talents transformed tonight into something it wouldn't be without you.

Thank you Jerry Colangelo for saying yes to making Teen Lifeline important in your work this year. Thank you Alfredo J. Molina for your tireless commitment to Teen Lifeline for eight years through your words and your deeds. 

Thank you Michelle Moorhead for your constant and committed leadership to this organization, which is more of a calling than  a role. Thank you to the Teen Lifeline Board of Directors whose open mind allowed us to revise this event for the future and who supported us every step of the way. Thank you to the Advisory Committee, particularly Jim Colletti who never said no, but always said go.

Thank you to the inaugural group of Leaders for Life. A group of amazing women from this community who stepped up to be part of our mission. Thank you to our Men's Council who opened their hearts to help. Thank you to every sponsor and to every donor and to every person in this room right now who said yes in so many ways to be here with us tonight

          "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that
          the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to
          live by them." - John F. Kennedy               

We are MOST grateful to the teens who have bravely shared their stories with us tonight to shine a light on the emotional journeys of our teens and to help parents know that even in the best of relationships, our teens need someone else to talk to. We are so proud of them.

Thank you to the teens who answer the calls every day to be that connection of hope that every person deserves to have. They connect with our teens and they connect all of us to something bigger in our community...a future of greater compassion and caring. We are so inspired by them.

Thank you with all of our hearts for an evening to connect to hope.

With gratitude,
Renee Dee and Jennifer Collins
