I am Addison Rhudy, a senior at James River High School in Chesterfield. Inspired by volunteer work at "Night to Shine," I am organizing a capstone project called the Golden Gala. This 1950s-themed event on December 12, 2025, will connect fellow students with residents at St. Mary Woods senior living center for an evening of companionship.

The goal is to provide a joyful holiday experience, especially for residents who can no longer drive. This will help us achieve our mission of bridging generational gaps and bringing hope to our seniors.
