GIVING OUR 2ND LARGEST GRANT - THANKS TO YOU!

The 10th Annual Bee Ball went beyond what we thought was possible and exceeded last year’s total! Thanks to the incredible support of our sponsors, attendees, and Royalty court we raised over $43,000, an absolute landmark amount!

We are humbled and amazed at the amount of generosity our amazing community has demonstrated. We thank all of the Royalty Court for their time and innovative fundraising efforts. Kim Hammer, Vanessa Lucas, Anthony Casaletto, Tanya Andrews, Nathan Spencer, Mike Glover, Kendra Leonard, Jai Kumar and Angela Lombardi—you are all awesome!

Due to this tremendous success, we will be able to award a $50,000 grant to an area nonprofit working in Food Insecurity in 2018.
