I have volunteered on their fundraising board for the past 2 years and have absolutely loved it! The staff and owners are so grateful for each and every volunteer. They appreciate all the money we have raised and are thankful no matter what the amount is. They are available for phone calls and emails whenever I have questions or problems and support me 100%. They all have a huge passion for their cause and you can see it radiate out of them when they work!
