Hello Jason,

We can't begin to express how grateful we are for the support we received for our fundraising event – Our Water, Our Future, Ours to Protect. From the individuals and companies who became sponsors, silent auction donors and bidders, those who purchased tickets and gave donations, and the many volunteers who helped make this incredible event so successful, THANK YOU! Because of you, we can carry out our mission of protecting and restoring the Caloosahatchee River from Lake Okeechobee to the coastal waters.

We can't wait to see you again at a future event.
