Last week, LoVasco had the honor of attending the Judson Center Gala, an inspiring evening celebrating the incredible impact Judson Center makes in our community.

We’re especially proud of our president, Gene LoVasco, for leading as the Presenting Sponsor, and of Jim Chapman, who served on the Gala Planning Committee and helped make the night such a success.

Their leadership and commitment to giving back reflect what LoVasco stands for—supporting organizations that bring hope and resources to children and families in need.

Thanks to the generosity of so many, over $500,000 was raised to support Judson Center’s mission—providing care, hope, and resources for children and families in need.

Grateful to be part of a night that truly makes a difference. 💙
