Total Raised: $138,400*
We couldn’t have asked for a better night to hold our 18th Annual It Only Takes A Spark Cancer Walk. Much appreciation and thanks needs to go out to all our teams and volunteers for this years walk. Without them and the great people of Grant County, we couldn’t raise such funds. A HUGE Thank You again to all of you! Nearly 2700 luminaries sold! See our article in the Grant County Review for all the highlights!
Nothing can express the pure joy with the monies raised this year and how many lives in Grant County it will impact through your generosity and continued support. Check out our photo gallery here!
* The amount includes some various estimates from additional parties, but is believed to be a good representation of funds raised this year. It was an absolutely AMAZING year!!!
