Thank you Community!
We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to your incredible generosity, we raised just over $91,000 for the White River Education Foundation! These funds will go a long way in supporting our students and schools.
To everyone who attended, bid, and supported us—thank you for showing up and believing in this mission. Your presence and enthusiasm were inspiring, and we couldn’t be more grateful!
A special shoutout to our amazing volunteers: May Morgan, Elizabeth Carter, Stephanie Courtney, Shelsea Smith, Matt Scheer, Collette and Bevan Strabeck, Monique Whiddon, and the amazing cashier team. Your hard work behind the scenes made everything possible, and we couldn’t have done it without you!
