Our Escape to the Jungle fundraising event, held last month, raised about $29,000 that will help sustain our hotline programs. Thanks to Brandt Information Services for being our title sponsor and Capital Health Plan and Sunrise Rotary Club of Tallahassee for their generous sponsorships. Everyone had a lot of fun and we look forward to our next event on April 21, 2012.
