An Invitation from Proud Ground’s Executive Director
Please join us for an evening of connection and celebration all in the spirit of community.
Building Futures is an event 25 years in the making! Help us celebrate Proud Ground’s anniversary and the incredible people and partnerships that define the “community” in community land trust—individuals, corporations, Proud Ground homeowners, realtors, lenders, coalition partners, public agencies, and more!
You’ll enjoy live music, passed hors d’oeuvres, a delicious dinner, and festive refreshments. The program portion of the evening will include a keynote speaker, stories from Proud Ground homeowners, and the opportunity to support the work of Proud Ground.
Hope to see you!
