 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

We would like to extend a very special THANK YOU to everyone who supported and attended our RED HOT & IN STYLE event last Thursday, April 26. It was a huge success and everyone had a blast! Our hot bachelors worked very hard to raise money for our families in need and for that we thank them! With their help and your support we raised more than $33,000 for our family retreat program!!
