Top 3 Fundraisers

This year, we are dedicating our donations to two important causes. First, we will be supporting Metavivor Breast Cancer Research with a direct contribution. In addition, we are proud to continue a scholarship fund for local Jefferson students in memory of our dear friend Lynette Denson. The scholarship, named "Live Beyond Existing," honors Lynette's powerful mantra and her legacy. Lynette, a beloved local resident, tragically passed away from stage four breast cancer, and this scholarship aims to inspire others to live life to the fullest, just as she did.
