Vanguard Landing Supporters help raise $112,000 in 24 hours during Give Local 757 Event!

On May 6, 2025, our Vanguard Landing “community” from all over America came together in the most powerful way for Give Local 757—and the results were nothing short of extraordinary.

In just 24 hours, $112,859 was raised to support the construction and growth of Vanguard Landing, a first-of-its-kind intentional community under construction in Virginia Beach for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We already have approved residents from many states including Virginia!

We are deeply grateful to every donor, fundraising team, and advocate who helped us spread the word and share our mission. Each gift, no matter the size, brings us closer to a future where more adults with disabilities have the choice to live, work, and thrive in a safe, supportive, and vibrant community.

We had 36 Fundraising Teams working hard for our goal!

This day was about more than just raising funds—it was about raising awareness, building momentum, and showing what’s possible when we stand together for inclusion and opportunity.

We received donations from 45 U.S. States!

We earned TWO bonus prizes totaling $2000 for the MOST individual donors overall and the most raised by Fundraising Peer to Peer teams!

From the bottom of our hearts:

Thank you for believing in what we’re building!

Together, we’re changing lives—and laying the foundation for a brighter future.

Thanks to all of our donors…
