Update: The truck has sold. That just means it wasn't the right one. We will continue looking! With that being said, if you know of any good deals on box trucks, we could use the suggestions.

We found the perfect truck, however, we only have 24 hours to raise a little under $3000 before it sells. If you run or work for a company that would be willing to lend a hand and do a bigger donation, we would be greatly appreciative.
Here's a look at what we're looking at.

We are seeking a truck sponsor for this month. Because of the increase in events for the weekend it will be about double. The Donation will be roughly $325 for the 4 days we will need the truck.
Also, any load up volunteers are greatly appreciated, as my hip is still out of wack.

We are still needing Volunteers for the whole weekend. We have the 12th Anniversary Handup on Sunday the 25th, Stand up ...
