Event Description:
Leadership Pensacola 2024 Community Give-Back Project
This year’s class has selected Valerie's House, a nonprofit organization devoted to supporting grieving children. The project will center on transforming the outdoor space by introducing appealing gardens, inspiring art installations, and safe play areas.
Valerie's House is dedicated to providing support to bereaved children, ages 5-18, and their families. Through art, and other therapeutic activities, Valerie's House helps children navigate the difficult journey of grief, promoting healing and fostering resilience.
The success of LeaP Outside relies on the support of our community. We invite businesses, organizations, and individuals to join us in making a lasting impact on the lives of grieving children.
