There, she encounters a host of whimsical characters: good witches, bad witches, animals that talk, scarecrows that walk, and things magical to behold. To find her way home, she must journey along the Yellow Brick Road to see the mysterious and all-powerful Wizard in Emerald City. Along the way, she makes new friends, but must also brave many dangers, including the Wicked Witch of the West, who will stop at nothing to get her hands on Dorothy’s magical ruby slippers. To make it home safely, Dorothy must learn an important lesson: there’s no place like home. Director: Kevin Rogers

This Giving Season, Fund a Life is shining brighter than ever. The Michigan nonprofit, known for helping individuals and families rise through life’s darkest moments, has announced its first-ever $50,000 Matching Gift Challenge — a powerful opportunity to double every dollar donated through December 31. “This $50,000 match is more than a milestone — it’s a promise of twice the hope, twice the healing, and twice the impact for Michigan families fighting through hardship,” said Mark Howell, Founder of Fund a Life. “Every contribution this season will help light the way forward for someone who needs to know they’re not alone.” Since its founding, Fund a Life has helped hundreds of Michigan families rebuild after medical crises, personal loss, and other life-changing challenges. Each grant tells a story of resilience and community — proof that when people come together, lives can be transformed. “This match allows us to say yes to more families who are struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel,” said Shevalla Kramer, Director of Operations at Fund a Life. “One grant can completely change someone’s story — and now, thanks to this incredible opportunity, we can bring that change to twice as many people.” The $50,000 Matching Campaign begins November 1, 2025, and runs through December 31, 2025. Every dollar raised will go directly to Michigan families facing medical emergencies, housing instability, and other life-altering challenges — helping them rediscover hope when it’s needed most. For more information or to donate, visit fundalife.org. Together, we can shine light in life’s darkest moments. Donors can contribute online at www.fundalife.org/donate or by mail.
