And the winner is.....?

If you recall when we first asked for your donations, we said that for ever $25 dollars donated, a raffle ticket would be given. This ticket gave the opportunity for someone to win a Chargers Mini Helmet autographed by LaDanian Tomlinson.

Without further ado:

Benefit Dinner - Thanks to all!

I'd like to first off thank Johnny and Susie Nuanez for opening their home for this awesome event. We got off to a slightly late start but all in all, everything went without a hitch. People ate, drank, and had a good ol time.

Once again, on behalf of Jessica and Angelina, we thank you all who showed your support.

We're coming down to the final stretch, lets get in gear and raise some cash!
