I just want take this opportunity to thank each and every single person that donated prizes, bought raffles, did the auction, and just came along and supported us. Also shout out to Wallace Mcdowall for co sponsoring our event. was probably one of the best nights we have had.What Team thanks so much and roll on next year.
