6th ANNUAL SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE

school drive

Our 6th Annual School Supply Drive at Monkey's Uncle on August 3 was a great SUCCESS.  This wouldn't have been possible without you and we would like to give thanks to those who came out and supported us.  Because of you our kids will have the proper tools for school.  We raised over $2,000 and collected lots of school supplies.  A great big shout out and thanks to Carter and Brian of Monkey's Uncle for their continous and generous support. Special thanks to our MC Vicki Bost-Hollingsworth.   Thank you also to our corporate donors.  Our heartfelt thanks goes out to each and everyone of you for making this event so special.

Thank you to these amazing corporate and personal donors.
