THANK YOU!

Thank you to all of you who attended last Friday’s Silent Auction Benefit – we hope that you had a great time!  Thanks to your generosity, the Benefit raised over $48,000 for our children!  The final figure will be announced in the next few weeks.  

We would like to thank the many people that contributed to this event:

  • Thank you to all of you who donated the wonderful gifts to the Auction and horse races as well as those who made cash donations, purchased 50/50 Cash Drawing and horse race tickets, purchased Auction items, or donated towards a teacher’s ticket.
