Thank You Reception and Raffle Fundraiser

My dear friends, Jim and Cynde Adler, of Adler & Co. Gallery generously offered to host a reception as a Thank You to my friends and family who have donated to the Immediate Breast Cancer Walk. We also wanted to host my teammates who have been training so hard and raising funds this year.

If an effort to continue raising funds towards my personal fundraising, I held a Raffle Fundraiser with fantastic prizes!
