资本运动

终于, 和 through the generosity 和 perseverance of many, we have exceeded our capital campaign fundraising goal, secured a USDA Rural Development Construction Loan, 和 plans are in place to break ground on our campus expansion project in 2023. 

Patience, perseverance, 和 gratitude are constants at Latham Centers. Each day we challenge one another to have the patience to endure challenges, perseverance to learn from 和 overcome obstacles, 和 the practice of gratitude to recognize the kindness, 支持, 和 generosity of those around us. Sustaining momentum 和 enthusiasm for this project while overcoming obstacles has highlighted the importance of these values. 一如既往地, the children 和 adults we serve, 和 their dedicated families have inspired us along the way. Each day we witness them rise 和 face seemingly insurmountable challenges with joy, 的决心, 和爱.

This project has been the most exciting 和 challenging we have encountered in more than four decades. While the journey has been longer than anticipated, the most worthwhile endeavors often take time. This campus expansion 和 the creation of the Latham Community 和 Arts Center will dramatically enhance the lives of our students, 成年居民, 和 工作人员 for years to come. 

Thank you to the Latham families, 工作人员, 董事会成员, 志愿者, 和 community stakeholders who invested in this project to make this dream a reality. 俗话说得好, “slow 和 steady wins the race,” 和 crossing the finish line will be sweeter with all of you by our side. We will continue to share project updates, including news about our upcoming groundbreaking event 和 ribbon-cutting celebrations. We hope to share the incredible pride 和 excitement with you when we tour the new Latham campus!
