9th Annual Benefit Dinner & Auction a Success!
Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such a great success! As in years' past, Jake's on the Water presented an incredible meal and we continue to be inspired by those who work so hard to make GardenShare's mission, to end hunger in St. Lawrence County, possible. While we are still totaling our earnings from our Silent Auction, we did raise almost $600 for our Summer Adventures program through the raffle! Thank you again for your dedication and support, we couldn't do it without you!
A big thank you to this year's sponsors!
