On Wednesday evening, February 16, 2022, the Sanctuary on 8th Street welcomed guests to a donor appreciation event entitled We Love Our Donors Happy Hour. The event featured complementary wine, local beer, and catered fare from Springfield neighbor, Strings Sports Brewery. Executive Director Rick Cartlidge provided a tour of the building and grounds, including a brand-new piece of playground equipment and a thriving vegetable garden. Members of the Sanctuary’s board of directors were on site to visit with guests and answer any questions they had about the programs. Attendees ranged from founding members of the organization to guests brought along to introduce them to the work the Sanctuary has been doing with at-hope youth for 30 years.
