Indy Gala and Silent Auction Items
The INDY Gala was a huge success with early estimates of over $180K raised for local cancer warriors in March. CG's silent auction basket cash pool of $675 in office was matched by the CG Charity Committee for a total of$1,350 which turned into $2,075 raised from the items we donated! Pretty awesome 😊. Thank you again to all who have helped with INDY events, donated to the silent auctions, and helped spread the word about INDY’s cause in MN.
