We are thrilled to announce that $28,082.69 was raised for research

Funds raised go into the Glenn Brown Memorial Grant, allowing researchers to further their research on cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis.

While the emphasis of the day was fun, laughter, and entertainment, we took the time to consider the purpose of the event. Willow Leary, who at 10 years of age gave an inspirational talk of her life living with cystic fibrosis and the effect it has on her every day. Her heartwarming speech left many in the crowd teary-eyed and in awe of her inner strength and inspirational outlook on life.

We are grateful to our guests, volunteers, local businesses and volunteers for making this event a success and look forward to seeing everyone back for 2020. Here are some highlights of the day.
