Piranha Party!

WOW! What a blast we had last Sunday at our Piranha Party!

 

It was wonderful to celebrate our amazing community together. Highlights included exciting games, a delicious pasta buffet, an ice cream truck, and our highly successful and silent and live auctions. Plus, plenty of socializing and team bonding. A massive THANK YOU goes out to all of our incredible donors for the array of items they contributed, and to everyone who Bid in the auction! 

 

Preview photos of the party here. More will be posted on our website very soon.

 

Auction Winners: you will receive either a receipt for the transaction OR an email request to pay for your items. Please make payments as soon as possible.   

 

Thank you for making the Piranha Party a huge success!
