With hundreds of attendees, it was clear that this is a cause close to many hearts in the community. The event turned out to be not only a wonderful opportunity to raise funds but also a chance to strengthen community bonds.
The event was co-emceed by two well-known faces in the area: the ever-popular Chief Meteorologist and a lively DJ from a local radio station. The camaraderie between the hosts set an optimistic tone for the day, as they encouraged participants and volunteers alike with lively banter and enthusiasm. The atmosphere of unity and determination was palpable, as everyone joined together with a shared goal.
