We raised our goal of $10,000 for the Periwinkle Foundation and $32,800 for the Gillis Foundation. The money for the Gillis Foundation will be used to fund our 2016 projects. Our ticket sales were $10,000 and the rest of the money was raised from donations alone! We are so grateful for the overwhelming support.
