But we need your support. Donate now.

Thanks to all who were able to come and contribute. A special shout-out to our raffle donors, Kent Fine Art, and the musicians who turned in fantastic performances. It was a huge success, we raffled and drink and listened among gorgeous pastels of boats, and we still have a little wine for an Alaska party in the spring… Here are some pictures from the benefit:
