We would like to thank everyone who came out yesterday and raised an incredible amount of money for the organization and for our 50/50 raffle hospitality worker who has cancer.

Also, want to throw a shout out to or emcee Daniel Malone for the great job he did!

We would like to thank all those who donated to our event. It's an incredibly long list to mentioned everyone. Most of all we would like to thank Social Latitude Playground & Pub for hosting the event!

This couldn't have been done without our fundraising committee. Who worked their tail off and we appreciate everything you did to make this event go off smoothly.
