Thanks to your incredible generosity, our preliminary grand total for stands at $393,596 raised so far this evening!

The night isn't over yet! Donations can still be made until 11:00 p.m. tonight, so there is still time to support the amazing organizations that make our community strong. Our final total will be officially announced early next week!

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who gave, shared, and supported to make this year’s event a monumental success. We couldn't do this without our wonderful community.

We also want to give a special shoutout to all of our generous sponsors, especially Oasis, for making this possible. Tonight’s event at Thrillville was an absolute blast! We are deeply grateful for their partnership and for hosting such an unforgettable evening.
