The coronavirus pandemic has affected all of our lives. Collectively, we are navigating what it means to build connections and community during great uncertainty.

Yet, despite the many challenges ahead, at Iona we continue to be inspired by the collective spirit of resilience and support all around us. During these uncertain times, it is a great comfort to know that so many in our community care and want to help.

As many of you already know, Iona hosts an annual fundraising luncheon every spring. This is our only fundraising event each year. Unfortunately, due to this public health crisis, we had to cancel our in-person luncheon. As you can imagine, this was a very difficult decision, but it was one we had to make in order to protect our community.

In its place, we’re excited to offer a terrific Plan B for you to experience—Iona’s first-ever virtual Heart of Caring on Thursday, April 30th from 12-12:30 PM. You’ll hear inspiring stories from the people we serve, learn more about the challenges and opportunities ahead, and have the chance to contribute to our efforts. We hope you that you’ll consider attending and circulating widely with your friends! We are in this together.

You can join us at this link on Thursday, April 30, 2020 at 12:00 PM EDT for the full virtual Heart of Caring program: https://youtu.be/ViHIbQBzEZE​
