We are now over $3600!!! When we started this contest we thought, “Wouldn’t it be nice if each group gets at least $250?” and then “Let’s dream big and hope for $500!!!”

Thank you to everyone who is voting, entering and just playing along…it proves that that even a small $5 contribution can add up quickly.
