The 2023 Braveheart HERO Gala was a success! We raised $35,000, the single largest fundraiser in our history! For those of you who were able to participate, we are so thankful for you! We would also like to thank:

• Alex Zarynow, videographer & photographer

• Businesses and organizations who donated auction items

• Chaplain Rachel Bodick who coordinated the entire event

• Chaplains and other volunteers

• Corporate sponsors

• Event planning team members

• Kopper Kitchen catering

• Our Board of directors

• Snowline Acres

• The Mike Murray Duo

• The Montana Institute for the Arts

• V Marie Payment Solutions

We are grateful for our community’s support and investment in the chaplain ministry.

We are also thankful for Stephanie Doll, who has served as our first intern for the past nine months and was recently promoted to a fully-fledged chaplain. Stephanie has set a great example for commitment and devotion as an intern. She has established deep and meaningful relationships within the Evergreen Fire Department. These interpersonal connections are the foundation for serving effectively within an agency. In addition, she will be expanding her horizons as she will soon engage with a law enforcement agency. Great job Stephanie!

Based on historical patterns and what chaplains are already responding to and witnessing within the community, it is going to be a full summer of chaplain ministry.
