MI Windows and Doors, part of the Miter Brands portfolio, in coalition with Miter Foundation, the charitable arm of Miter Brands, recently sponsored and supported The InVINCEable Foundation for its inaugural gala.
The InVINCEable Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that supports families with the challenges of pediatric cancer. It was founded by Scott and Kim Van Almen, in honor of their son, Vince, who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in 2020. The foundation works to raise money that goes directly toward supporting families in need.
The three-year-old foundation held its inaugural gala on February 28 to celebrate the impact that donors helped the organization make on families in 2024. Held in Cary, North Carolina, attendees had the opportunity to listen to stories from those who have benefited from donations, have dinner and drinks, and participate in auctions—both silent and live. Several MI Windows and Doors team members, including CEO Matt DeSoto, CFO Joe Person, and sales leader Chris Cheshire, attended to support The InVINCEable Foundation.
For the past two years, the Miter Foundation has provided monetary donations, as well as sponsored the previous two golf tournaments The InVINCEable Foundation has hosted.
Jason Cecco, sales leader for MI Windows and Doors, serves on the foundation’s board of directors.
“The InVINCEable Foundation directly aligns with one of the core missions of the Miter Foundation by providing monetary, and, more importantly, emotional support to families dealing with childhood cancer,” said Cecco. “The InVINCEable Foundation stays involved with the families and provides them support as they navigate their worst days. Our first gala was a huge success, with more than $300,000 raised, allowing the foundation to help over 20 families this year.”
