This year marked Thrive in Joy’s 11th year participating in Retail Orphan Initiative’s (RetailROI) SuperSaturday event in New York City on January 11th. Representing our team were Mary Fagnano, Executive Director and Co-Founder; Amy Godinez, C11 Program Coordinator; and Elizabeth Rojas, Board Chair. Together, we made numerous meaningful connections with event attendees, further advancing our mission to inspire and empower underserved communities.

We kicked off the new year by attending SuperSaturday, Retail Orphan Initiative's (RetailROI, Inc.) annual event in New York City. It was an honor to be included among 14 nonprofits helping vulnerable children in the U.S. and around the globe.

The 3rd Annual Winter Wonderland event brought lots of joy to over 160 USC Hybrid High students and their families. 125 children received toys generously donated by USC’s Price School of Public Policy faculty and staff.
