Tomorrow is the big day! Here are a few tips for our guests: 1. We encourage everyone to bring their own chair. There will be very limited seating. 2. You are welcome to bring any snacks or food. My Lucky Tummy will sell a variety of ethnic options, but you're still welcome to pack your own lunch. Look below for the day's schedule!

The final touches are falling into place for our event on Saturday! A big thank you to everyone who has supported us this year, including Le Moyne College, the John Marsellus family, and UnitedHealthcare. Without the community's support, this event would not be possible.
