"Raffle prizes were collected and donated from businesses and families in the area and the printing services for the flyers for the event were donated by Acclaim Printing in Dublin. I am just so overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support this community has shown in this time of tough news and others in recent months in our city.  I am incredibly proud to live here and feel blessed to call this city home."
