A Heartfelt Thank You from FD On The Hill
On behalf of everyone at the Bailey-Groce Family Foundation, we want to extend our deepest and most sincere gratitude to all who attended and generously donated to the Frederick Douglass Valentine Gala 2026. Your presence, your spirit, and your giving heart made this evening truly unforgettable.
This event was more than a celebration — it was a testament to the power of community coming together in the name of a legacy that continues to inspire us all. Frederick Douglass believed that the struggle for justice and equality was a collective one, and on this night, each and every one of you embodied that belief.
To our donors: your contributions go far beyond this evening. Every dollar given is a step forward in honoring the vision of Frederick Douglass and advancing the mission that drives us every day. Your generosity fuels our work and strengthens our community in ways that will be felt for years to come.
To our attendees: thank you for showing up, for celebrating with us, and for being a part of something greater than ourselves. You made the room glow.
With love, gratitude, and continued purpose —
Bailey-Groce Family Foundation and Operation Frederick Douglass on the Hill.
