Any Baby Can's annual "One Stellar Night" gala proved to be a resounding success, bringing together the community for an "out-of-this-world" evening. The highlight of the event was the story of resilience and paying it forward shared by former Any Baby Can mom and client Dr. Susan Millea and her daughter Hillary Siegel. Susan connected with Any Baby Can 27 years ago for early therapies and whole-family support after a high-risk twin pregnancy. Now Susan’s daughters are healthy and grown, and Hillary is paying it forward as a pediatric occupational therapist.
The event underscored the community's commitment to Any Baby Can's mission of empowering parents, prioritizing healthy families, and investing in child development in Central Texas. Generous attendees contributed to programs that provide essential resources and support to families facing a range of challenges. Any Baby Can raised a record-breaking $302,722. Funds raised during One Stellar Night directly benefit programs offering vital support to more than 3,000 children and parents each year.
"We’re incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support shown at One Stellar Night," said Veronda L. Durden, President & CEO of Any Baby Can. "The generosity of our community will have a profound impact on the lives of countless families and children in Central Texas, helping parents shine brighter and kids soar higher. It was truly a stellar evening in support of an incredible mission."
