The 2024 Bash was a Smash!
Heartfelt Thanks!
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our amazing guests, generous sponsors, dedicated donors, and enthusiastic volunteers who played pivotal roles in making The Bash nothing short of spectacular!
The overwhelming support from the community and everyone at the event was truly heartwarming. We are deeply grateful for the collective effort in support of our participants & families.
Through ticket purchases, donations and sponsorships, more than $190,000 was raised to enrich lives, connect communities and create fun! Of that grand total, $45,200 in donations were raised during the Raise the Paddle portion of the evening. With the $10,000 match, offered that evening only by the Itrich Family Foundation, the Raise the Paddle alone raised $55,200!
We are both humbled by the generosity and thrilled by the support!
Together we can create a better quality of life for participants & families!
