2005 Annual Fundraiser

On June 24, 2005, GRACE held its first-ever fundraiser thanks in large part to the generosity of Susan Silverman, who graciously allowed us to use her store Leap  for the event.  Over a dozen local businesses also supported the fundraiser by donating food, drinks, and auction items.  Approximately 50 people were in attendance to mingle, listen to the music of Moodafaruka,  participate in a silent auction and to listen to the story of Brandon Moon who spent 17 years in a Texas prison for a crime he did not commit.  Thanks to all who attended and who made this event a success!
