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 $207,000! Of that, over $94,000 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 Our Communities”.
To our paddle raisers, thank you for raising a Gift From The Heart paddle and donating generously to support Operation School Bell. You graciously donated $94,000 for Operation School Bell.
Your gift will help the many low-income students we serve through Operation School Bell.
Thank you to our sponsors and underwriters for their generous support.
Without your support our philanthropies would not be so robust and diverse.
