We collected a total of $2,525 from our 2022 fund-raising campaign, including a matching donation of $1,000. Along with money from dues, we are able to give $1,500 to 3 different organizations that we have supported in the past. StandProud, REVE Kandale and Saidiana. Thank you for your generosity so we can make a small impact to these groups as an organization.
