HUGE SUCCESS!!! Lutes Takeover for YRMC Drive for School Supplies

Lutes said pack the place - and that's exactly what we did! We promoted on the radio, TV, Web, Social Networks and had large organizations, businesses and even the entire City of Yuma employees distribute our event information electronically.
The result:
$250 Donation from Yuma Insurance
$250 Donation from Underhill Transfer
$100 Donation from Anonymous Donor
$600 Raised with the 50/50 Raffle
$260 from the Lutes 15% Sales Donation
And, a great time had by all!
Bottom line ... We hoped to raise $1000 allowing YRMC to buy (in bulk) 200 backpacks for underprivilidged kids. We blew that out of the water with a total of $1460 to buy 284 backpacks & supplies!
THANK YOU to all that helped and everyone who showed up!
