Huge thank you to JT’s Genuine Sandwich Shop and Chef Cecil Rodriguez of FatCap Supper Club—both friends of Inspiration Corporation—for coming together to create something truly special: a one-of-a-kind limited Meatloaf Patty Melt.
We’re so grateful to be included in this collaboration, where $1 from every sandwich sold now through the end of April will directly support our programs and community.
Thank you both for your generosity. Be sure to stop by , try the sandwich, and support a great cause while you’re at it.

What an incredible One Inspired Evening. It was so special to see so many new and familiar faces come together in support of our mission. This year was one for the books—with our most successful art auction, silent auction, and paddle raise to date. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
