October is doing its gorgeous thing out there, and while we may not want to think about it, January is only three months away! Please save the date for our 7th annual Freedom Fund Brunch, taking place January 17, 2026 at Grace Congregational Church in Rutland. More information and registration details coming soon!
Sponsorships are also now open for the event! We rely on sponsorship support to make the event a success. There are sponsorship opportunities for every budget, starting at $125. The Rutland Area NAACP has been a leader in Vermont’s social justice movement for almost a decade, and our presence has never been more needed. We hope you will consider supporting us with a Freedom Fund sponsorship.
This is our most important fundraiser of the year, and also an inspiring celebration of social justice efforts in our community, and an opportunity to honor our local leaders. This year’s keynote speaker will be Lisa Ryan, the Community Inclusion Director at the Vermont Criminal Justice Council/Vermont Police Academy, and a founding member of the Rutland Area NAACP.
