The music was great, the students had a great time, the adults hopefully had a great time too!
I want to first thank all of the adults that stepped up to assist with this huge lift of an event!
This event was first created to build community both for the students and parents in the program.
Hopefully, we achieved that.
Secondly, I want to thank everyone that donated to our program. It is alway humbling to see such tremendous support from so many.
Our program is fully funded for this year, and we will be able to provide excellent opportunities for ALL of the students in our program.
Finally, a big thank you to our Friends of Cleveland board who helped make all of this happen. Without FOCB, this event just could not happen. There are too many moving parts between the chaperoning, the dinner for the students, the GoFundMe page, and the live streaming of the event. The list is long and it all happened!!
We are off to a great start! Thank you again to all that were involved in this event, whether you were here helping, or donating, or both!
Musically Yours,
Gary Riler
And with that, we hope you enjoy the video! (big thanks to Dave Bleckman for editing!)
