YEAR’S END DANCE RESULTS - $867.92 TOTAL DONATED

11/21/2015 551 total items 411lb worth $706.92 $161 cash 

This was a HUGE haul. The donations filled three shopping carts at the pantry, and weighed down my car so much that I had to put extra air in the tires the next day. You guys are absolutely amazing and I'm consistently blown away by your generosity. Thank you so much.  It really does make a difference!

Thank you again to Anime St. Louis for partnering with us to host this event. We wouldn't be here without you!
