We had an amazing time this weekend at our Co****le Tournament!
Because of your support, we were able to raise funds to help fight childhood hunger in our community- and we couldn’t have done it without so many incredible people.

A huge thank you to Community National Bank & Trust for being our generous event spobsor. Your support makes a real difference in the lives of the children and families we serve.

We also want to give a special shout out to State Fair Co****le for running such a fun and well organized Tournament. You helped make the day a huge success.

And of course, thank you to everyone who came out to play, cheer, and support ECHO, as well as our amazing volunteers who gave their time and energy to make it all happen!
