A Roaring Success!
Aunt Leah’s 6th annual Lonely Hearts Club Band benefit concert was a roaring success! We raised almost $6,000 in ticket sales, over $4,000 on the auctions, nearly $700 on the 50-50 and over $1,500 in cash donations.
That’s a total of $12,113.00 plus matching funds for a grand total of $24,226.00. After expenses, our profit for the night was $20,628.00 - all going to our Thresholds Program for moms and babies.
Thank You!
