A message from the PopCares Board of Directors:
This was a long, difficult, and emotional conversation at our recent meeting.
Please know this: PopCares is not going away. We are not stopping. We are not pausing our mission. We are still here. We are still committed. And most importantly, we are still supporting our community.
After 14 wonderful years of hosting our Annual Dinner and Auction, we have made the difficult decision to take a pause from the event this year.
There are a variety of reasons behind this decision, but ultimately, we feel this is the right time to step back, reflect on this special tradition, and consider how we can continue to come together in meaningful ways in the future.
We are incredibly grateful for the tremendous support our community has shown this event over the years. It has become such a meaningful tradition for so many of us, and we are excited to see what the next chapter brings.
We will share information about upcoming events and other ways to support PopCares as plans come together.
While the event is taking a pause, our work continues. Those who would like to support PopCares can still donate through our website, PopCares.org, or by mailing a donation to:
PopCares
PO Box 482
Williamstown, MA 01267

Sincerely,
The Board of Directors of PopCares
