Donors

We Love Our Donors!

This list includes all donors who gave cash gifts and those who gave in-kind contributions to further the cause. Unfortunately, we cannot list the hundreds (probably thousands) of people who purchased tickets to meals or events like the River Ball Drop and Horse Races, or all the people and organizations who participated in golf tournaments or came to our street party.

As with every great ground roots campaign, the overwhelming majority of our donors are what could be termed “small donors.” Without them, we would not have succeeded.
