Each year, staff, volunteers, and supporters come together to raise money in support of the kids we serve. Some events we host are countywide and raise funds to support the entire organization, while others are organized at the Club level and raise funds for an individual Club. Whether countywide or Club-specific, these events have a single focus—the kids.
