This is one of my favorite events of the year, just knowing that we are helping kids in need warms my heart.
Tori Gandy, Sales Manager with Elkhorn Media Group and co-organizer of this annual event says “We couldn’t do this event without collaboration with Les Schwab and involvement from Carpet One Floor and Home and Ed Staub and Sons, they have been an integral part of this year after year, and we thank for them being a part of this great event.
