Friends of Westchase
Spring Up in Westchase Luncheon
Thank You for Helping Us Find Our WHY!
Dear Friends,
We are overflowing with gratitude after our recent Spring Up in Westchase luncheon!
Thanks to your incredible support, encouragement, and generosity, we exceeded our fundraising goal — a milestone that will allow us to expand our impact even further in the Westchase community.
Through your partnership, Friends of Westchase will continue building spaces where students are mentored, families are supported, and lives are transformed. Your gifts help us grow in new and deeper relationship through:
- Mentoring over 120 students across Paul Revere Middle School, Walnut Bend Elementary, and Emerson Elementary.
- Providing life skills and enrichment through F3 Kids and MENtorUP.
- Supporting teachers and schools with resources, encouragement, and community-building activities.
- Growing a flourishing community garden to provide fresh food to families.
- Expanding afterschool and weekend opportunities for youth to explore their gifts and goals.
Our luncheon celebrated the power of asking bold questions, stepping forward in faith, and living out our WHY through service and love. We were honored to share stories of transformation and to recognize Susan Jernigan, whose vision and questions helped launch the foundation of Friends of Westchase.
Every dollar raised represents hope, opportunity, and a stronger future for the children and families we serve. Thank you for believing in our mission. Thank you for finding your WHY—and for choosing to live it out with us.
We look forward to continuing to grow together and can't wait to share all the ways your generosity will bear fruit in the months ahead.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Kristy Elmore
Executive Director
