The fifth annual LHL FUNraiser is officially in the books, and we thank you all for helping to make it a success!

Special Shout Out. During one of the most important parts of the evening, we experienced technical difficulties with Charlotte's Story when it stopped halfway through the video.  After a few moments of silence, Charlotte's dad, Scott Green stepped up on stage (unprepared) and delivered one of the best speeches we have heard. It was so powerful and emotional people thought it was planned. We can assure you it was not!  Thank you Scott, for stealing the show!

We were lucky to have the evening captured by talented and generous Halo Fine Art Studio.
