The annual Chuck Wagon Chow Down was held January 28th at the Burnet YMCA. Setting a new fundraising record, supporters and Service League members witnessed an outpouring of support from the community with a sold out crowd of 340 and donations of $151,000.
All proceeds from the annual dinner and auction will be used for scholarships for women returning to work or seeking updated training and certifications, grants to Highland Lakes organizations for services to a diverse and growing local clientele, and funding for important outreach activities such as the annual Special Needs Christmas Party.
Ticketed guests enjoyed a BBQ dinner provided by Pok-e-jo’s and live music from the duo of David Horner and Patrick Russell. Some of the night’s activities included live and silent auctions, a wine pull, and a “Chuck Wagon Chance” trip raffle.
We want to thank all the attendees, sponsors, and members who continue to make this special annual event a huge success.
