Can anyone be thanked enough? We don't think so. Thank you, thank you to everyone who made the 2019 Gold Rush a fun and fruitful fundraiser. So many people donated items, volunteered numerous hours, and/or generously purchased over 450 items on the silent and live auction. All this generosity raised $283,000 to continue providing quality Catholic education in David City.
