GAPPP Raises Money for Jesse's House
During University on 7/20, GAPPP sold raffle tickets to attendees, for some very nice merchandise donated by some very generous Supplier and MLR members.
Tickets were $5 each or 5 for $20, and the monies collected helped GAPPP raise over $1200! That makes for one BIG CHECK (GAPPP Vice President Shawn LaFave, MAS, presenting check to Elizabeth Johnson, Executive Director, Jesse's House)!
Thanks to all who participated, and whose generosity helped the young women at Jesse's House.
