When the idea for this fundraiser began 3 weeks ago, I had hoped we would raise $20K, but I wasn’t sure we could pull it off in such a short amount of time. I am overwhelmed with joy to report that this fundraising event made approximately $30K in profit!
Ron, Krishna, Emily & Faith Hamilton, Jesse & Hector Reyna-Gibbs, James Burroughs and his crew from Rockin’ BBQ, Danese Pimentel, Jackie Campidonica & Michael Lance Miller…thank you all for taking my idea and working so hard to make it come to fruition. With our divide and conquer strategy, I was amazed to see what was accomplished so quickly!
Black Oak Casino, DW61 Foundation, Sonora Area Foundation, Chicken Ranch Casino, C21 Sierra Properties, the Mother Lode Fairgrounds, Condor Earth Technologies, Arthur Michaels Winery, Clarke Broadcasting and The Union Democrat….thank you for your sponsorship.
We also want to thank the following groups who donated their time and talents… Stompbox Band, Burn Permit Band and Leilani & the Distractions! The Sonora and Summerville FFA & 4H students, Mike Schaffer Auctioneer and the Tuolumne County Sherriff’s Posse.
Finally to all who bought tickets, donated, purchased silent and live auction items…. It is your final piece of the puzzle that helped us surpass our goal!
It feels good to do good and our community stepped up and stepped in to make a difference. THANK YOU!
