Last night, we gathered at the National Automobile Museum to celebrate the people and partnerships that help Northern Nevada thrive. Our Annual Meeting, “Guiding Our Community Through Connection,” captured the heart of the evening: what becomes possible when people come together to care for our home.

We explored the collaboration between Lithium Americas and the Community Foundation to build a new Orovada K–8 School, and how the Women’s Giving Circle at the Community Foundation helped spark a coordinated effort to strengthen systems delivering youth mental health support. We also honored our Legacy Society members, whose generosity will sustain and uplift our community for generations.

Special congratulations to Dr. Dennis Yamamoto, the 2026 James L. Pfrommer Award for Extraordinary Volunteerism recipient, for his dedicated service helping build Legacy Giving programs as a Board member at the Community Health Alliance Foundation.

Thank you to our donors, partners, board members, staff, and everyone who joined us. Your care for this community makes this work possible, and we’re grateful to move forward together.
