Merry Christmas from the Garner C. Tampary Memorial Foundation.

This year’s Tinsel Trail was truly special, and it would not have been possible without the overwhelming support of our community. From the beautifully decorated trees to the generosity behind every contribution, this event continues to remind us why this cause matters so much.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who supported the Foundation this year. Your involvement helps us honor Garner’s memory while continuing to make a positive impact right here at home.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with hope, joy, and togetherness. Thank you for being part of this journey.
