We’re excited to invite you to DESC Defenders: Generations, our annual fundraiser that promises to be an unforgettable event! This year, the theme “Generations” holds a powerful meaning—representing
the generations of DESC supporters, the ongoing cycle of generational poverty and the enduring work of DESC to combat homelessness and poverty in our community through
a new facility.

We’re honored to welcome back Mary and Hank Coxe as our 2025 Honorary Chairs. Although last year’s event was canceled due to the hurricane, they’re returning to help finish what they started.

DESC Defenders: Generations is more than just a fundraiser—it’s a celebration of the community that’s come together over the years to help break the cycle of poverty. It’s a reflection of the many generations of donors, volunteers and advocates who have stood by DESC’s side. And it’s a reminder of the generations of individuals affected by poverty, homelessness and hardship, and
how DESC works tirelessly to offer hope and opportunity.

 Join us for an evening of fun, inspiration and connection! You’ll enjoy delicious food, interactive activities and a program filled with stories of transformation. You’ll hear how DESC clients’ lives have changed thanks to critical support.

The funds raised will go directly toward sustaining DESC’s vital programs and services, ensuring we can continue our mission for generations to come. Your involvement will help build a future of hope and opportunity.

Don’t miss this chance to be part of something bigger! Come for the fun, stay for the impact and leave knowing you’ve helped change lives. We look forward to seeing you at DESC Defenders: Generations!
