91ÇÑ×Ó Director of Development Leigh Ebner said the event would not have been possible without the generous support of sponsors.

It was wonderful to see people working together for such a great cause as raising money for student scholarships.”

This year’s Presenting Partner was Southwest Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, and the Gold sponsor was Pinnacle Bank.
