Good evening everyone we wanted to reach out this evening and say thank you thank you thank you to all of our sponsors. We could not continue to do this each year without you. It takes a village to help those in our community to beat this terrible disease of addiction that is taking so many lives in our community. We are not only remembering those that we have lost, but we are now fighting back to help those that are still struggling, can’t wait to see everybody there as we joined together, providing resources to our community and remembering those that we’ve lost!
