The Empty Bowls benefit, in support of our neighbors experiencing homelessness, was a big success — thanks to organizers Mike Sullivan of The Mud Studio and Pam Day of Blockhouse Studio!
We were grateful to share the evening with 300 community members at this sold-out event. More than $18,000 was raised!
It was nice to reconnect with longtime Good Sam friends and to meet so many new ones.
An event like this takes time, energy, and creativity. Thank you to the bowl makers, silent auction artists and donors, food contributors, musicians, and volunteers who brought their talents and skills together to create a memorable evening.
Special thanks to Zenbarn for donating the use of their warm space for the event!
