Event Proceeds Benefit Our Community
In 2024, event proceeds will be donated to the Victim’s Assistance Program. Our donation will be given to ECCO, the nonprofit that administers this important program, in collaboration with the staff of the Sheriff’s Department. The 2023 Expo event raised over $5,000 for folks in need. Help us get to $6,000 in 2024!
