We wish to thank the event organizers, guests, and contributors. This is our primary fundraising event supporting all our philanthropies and essential operations. We are proud to have raised over $163,000! Of that, over $98,500 was from our Gifts From the Heart paddle raise, where 100% goes to supporting our Operation School Bell® philanthropies.
Without your support, we would not be able to…
“Transform Lives and Strengthen Communities”.
Thank you to all who lifted a paddle for “Gift From The Heart” to raise funds for Operation School Bell. Your generosity raised $98,500 to support students in need and improve their educational experience and opportunities.
Thank you to our sponsors and underwriters for their generous support. Without your support our philanthropies would not be so robust and diverse.
