Together, they have been working with OPUS for over 12 years, spearheading major fundraising events like this year’s “Summer Soirée,” securing tens of thousands of dollars of donations from corporate sponsors, and engaging current and alumnae members in critical initiatives that fund the programs at Person-to-Person.
