Program accomplishments
- Harvest Auction for ParentsCAN In November of 2021, The Hero Foundation teamed up with friends and partners at the North Napa Rotary Club to organize a virtual auction to raise money for the local nonprofit organization known as ParentsCAN; an organization that works to provide aid for families raising children with special needs. Community members were able to bid on technology, certificates, wines, and more; all for a great cause. Altogether, we were able to raise $10,373.00 for ParentsCAN.
