BRATTLEBORO — On April 9, the Hatch, with its Storytellers on a Mission event, raised $30,000 to support Youth Services, this year's beneficiary.
We thank the nationally celebrated storytellers who donated their talent to tell moving and hilarious stories: Bethany Van Delft, Ian Chillag, David Rees, Bill Torrey, Tom Bodett, and host Michelle Buteau.
We are very grateful to the Hatch organizers, without whom this wouldn't have happened. We thank the event sponsors and the benefactors, whose contributions totaled more than $8,000 of the money raised.
And the event wouldn't have been a success without our community supporters, close to 500 of them, who bought tickets.
We are fortunate to live in a community that values our young people.
