Thank you, to all of our supporters who donated and/or spread the word of our cause during "The Great Give."

This journey that we're on, is just beginning and we invite you to join us because "Its Gonna Be an Awesome Ride". #blackboardersct #representationmatters #standingsideways #getupstandupdontgiveup #itsgonnabeanawesomeride
