Amazing and record-setting. Although we last did an update two days before the event, you can see that we had quite a few donations in the final 48 hours as well as a few post-event. We thank you all very much.

Three that we’d like to spotlight are a Gold-level donation from Cindy Sipsey in memory of her brother Dr. Jeff Sipsey, who for many, many years was the Medical Director for the Chamber. And we want to recognize two Silver level donations from Edward Hsu as well as Tom Turney & Jill Boivin. As many of you know, Jill also serves as chairperson for the Avalon Underwater Cleanup.

Here’s our final list of 166 contributors this year. As I said above, amazing and record-setting. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
