Thank You to the Bernhard Family & Friends!
T hank you to Mark Bernhard, St. Zachary Catholic School, and the many donors who collected backpacks and school supplies to give to children at our centers. Your generosity is inspiring! We were particularly touched by three young girls who chose to donate their birthday gifts by asking guests to bring donations instead of presents. From everyone at Fabretto, thank you!
