The Foundation is in good company with many of the largest nonprofits in the world co-partnering with Blackbaud and its leading technology.

Koman for the Cure, Lupus Foundation, National MS Society, Habitat for Humanity and the Life is Good Foundation.
The crowd was also treated to a keynote by actress, author, humanitarian, and activist, Ashley Judd. Ms. Judd shared her experiences witnessing firsthand the challenges people around the world are facing and inspired the crowd to take action for our causes.
