Critical Needs Campaign: A Historic Success.
Thank You for Going Above and Beyond!
With tremendous gratitude, we celebrate the conclusion of our Critical Needs Campaign!
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we not only met but exceeded our original goal. In just 35 weeks, from January through September 2026, we raised $699,000.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed, supported, and helped make this historic moment for Newman possible. Your generosity will help care for and preserve our beloved Newman community and building for years to come.
