Options by DMS proudly sponsors launch event for Santa Cruz County non-profit, the BRIDGE Foundation
At DMS, we believe that strong communities are built on opportunity, equity and compassion. That’s why we were deeply honored to serve as a community sponsor for the BRIDGE Foundation of Santa Cruz County Launch Event & Fundraiser, held at the Homeless Garden Project’s Natural Bridges Farm.
Ryan Leary, Options by DMS, and Heather Rogers, BRIDGE Foundation, at the launch event.
The sold-out launch event brought together local advocates, business leaders, legal professionals, and community members under a warm late-summer sky at Natural Bridges Farm. Hosted in partnership with the Homeless Garden Project, the evening highlighted how interconnected our community’s support systems really are.
Attendees gathered around grazing tables crafted with fresh organic produce harvested right from Natural Bridges Farm, enjoying live music from local performers Dirty Ukulele and the Entwood Troubadours.
Keynote speaker Willy Elliott-McCrea, former CEO of Second Harvest Food Bank, reminded everyone of how deeply linked food, housing, meaningful work, and community are to public safety and human potential.
The launch party was just the beginning. The BRIDGE Foundation relies entirely on individual donors, local businesses, and community grants to sustain its mission without tax dollars.
