🌈 1,000 Smiles. One Community.
On CV Giving Day, we’re setting a bold goal:
1,000 smiles in 24 hours.
At the Children’s Discovery Museum of the Desert, a “smile” represents one joyful moment of discovery — when a child learns through play, exploration, and connection.
Every $10 gift helps create one smile.
💛 Early giving is open now. Link in comments.
