During the first 2,000 days of life—when 90% of the brain develops—early experiences shape the adults children will become. The majority of the nearly 250 children we serve face significant economic and social barriers, yet Verner provides high-quality early education, nutritious meals, and strong family support. This silent auction raises critical funds to ensure these children continue receiving the resources they need to thrive.
