Thank you for a wonderful fifth annual POPESFEST

presented by MacGillis Injury Law

Thanks to your support and prayers, our fifth anniversary was our best year yet! We had beautiful weather, fantastic food and music, and great vibes.

In addition to a record-breaking year for sponsorship and attendance—we were joined by over 900 energetic Pope-supporters—we are thrilled to share that we were able to raise over $80,000 in support of the POPES Fund!
