Most importantly, Friends Helping Friends is about helping people right here in our community. Over the years, this organization has helped families facing unexpected medical expenses, terminal illness, car wrecks, house fires, funeral expenses and other unexpected hardships. ❤️
We’ve also supported local causes and organizations, including Logan’s Heroes, local su***de awareness efforts, COVID-19 relief, and providing local Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners for families in need.
That is what Friends Helping Friends is all about. Neighbors helping neighbors. Friends helping friends. A community coming together when someone needs a little extra help. ❤️
And we cannot forget all of our bartenders, ticket sellers, volunteers, behind-the-scenes helpers, people who helped set everything up, collected donations, made flyers, made shirts, promoted the event, and worked throughout the day.
And of course, a HUGE thank you to Casey and Stacey for helping MC, entertain and keep everything moving! 🎤❤️
After 12 years, we are once again reminded that IT TAKES A COMMUNITY TO HELP A COMMUNITY. ❤️
From the bottom of our hearts — THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! 🫶
We couldn’t do this without every single one of you.
❤️ Friends Helping Friends ❤️
