We also wish to extend our thanks to the Pioneer Press – Deerfield Review and its staff for the assistance provided in publicizing news releases about the event.

Proceeds are divided equally between both Foundations and support worthwhile projects including: “Grants-in-Aid” (scholarships); purchase of recycling containers for area park/school locations; funds to help upgrade the ThorGuard Lightning Prediction System; grants for Pilot Education Programs, and more.
