Fort Yuma Gives Big!

For some Fort Yumans, this is their favorite time of the year. To see where those long days setting up for the Mardi Gras, Golf-A-Thon and other fundraisers are finally paying off. Fort Yuma typically gives away $25,000-$30,000 per year in various donations to the community. Each year there is a little different list but we always have our favorites. For the rest of June we will be handing out more and more money each Thursday. Last Thursday we gave $500 each to Planned Pethood, Southwest AZ Stand Down, AZ Children's KARE Center, and AZ Children's Foster Care Center. The big one for the day was a check or $4,000 to Paul Evancho (pictured left) and the AZ Child Burn Survivors Camp. On a side note, give Robin Finn a pat on the back when you see her because she is spending this week as a Counselor at Camp Courage, which I'm sure is not an easy task.
