Join us for an inspiring afternoon of connection, collaboration, and community impact! IMPACT 2025, presented by The Trompeter Family Foundation, is more than just an event—it’s a movement dedicated to creating lasting change and raising awareness of the need to provide improved educational opportunities and emotional care for children.

Who should attend? Anyone looking to connect with their new favorite charity, become a new—or better—board member, network with other community leaders, and raise public awareness about the educational and emotional needs of children.

Come together with like-minded individuals, companies, foundations, and nonprofits to help foster collaboration and make a real difference. Your participation will support local efforts, including providing much-needed coats for children in our community.
