On Sept. 21, Ellipsis friends and supporters gathered for a wonderful evening of celebrating staff milestones, outstanding volunteers, dedicated community partners and Ellipsis alumni achievements. The inaugural “Ellipsis Celebration” recognized those who help us further our work with central Iowa kids and families.
A number of sponsors made this event possible. We’d like to thank Nationwide, BH Companies, Trilix, TPI, Ahlers & Cooney and Travis & Jennifer Sheets for their generous support of our event and the work we do at Ellipsis. Thank you!
The evening’s program highlighted staff anniversaries, the Trebilcock Exceptional Staff Award winner and a moving piece on our Ellipsis Award winner, which is given to an outstanding individual who has been part of our services and programs. To hear the heart-warming stories shared gave our attendees a clear picture of why we are Iowa’s no wrong door solution for hundreds of kids and families. Congratulations to our 2022 award winners!
