Thank you to everyone that joined us at the University Club on Tuesday for our Guest Bartending for Help Me Play. A very special thanks to Owen Carter, Mike Robinson, and Tyler Smith for hosting us!! More than $14,000 was raised for Help Me Play!

This event helped make a real difference for local kids and families. The funds raised will help ensure that children and families in our community have access to recreation opportunities regardless of financial circumstances. Every dollar raised helps remove barriers and opens doors to experiences that build confidence, friendships, leadership skills, and lifelong memories.
