This event has grown from year to year, last year our net from this event for giving locally was $27,000. To be honest we struggle soliciting sponsorships, even though this type of fundraising is so despertaely needed in our community. I'm reaching outside of our community to help grow the event and proceeds. All the proceeds stay locally.
