More than a meal

A night built around the kids

Families gather, kids get time to play, and coaches share a few words about the commitment our athletes and cheerleaders brought to the season.

Throughout the evening we'll host raffles and raise funds for the program. The grand finale is the live drawing for this year's Yeti raffle winners.
