It was a standout evening on Saturday, May 2, as more than 375 guests gathered at the Highland Lakes Service League's annual Chuck Wagon Chow Down Fundraiser. Attendees enjoyed a variety of activities, raffles, and live and silent auctions to support our mission. The evening also included a delicious BBQ dinner catered by Pok-e-Jo's with entertainment provided by Billy Scott. Scotty Gibbs, along with his team from Aim High Fundraising & Benefit Auction Service, LLC, kept the crowd active during the live auction and mission giving portions of the evening.
Net proceeds of $161,579 will be used in the coming months to provide grants to local non-profit organizations, award scholarships to adult women wishing to continue their education, host the annual Special Needs Christmas Party and provide monetary assistance to individuals and families in need in Burnet and Llano Counties.
The Highland Lakes Service League extends thanks to all who attended, donated, contributed auction items and supported the event through sponsorships and underwriting. The organization also recognizes its dedicated volunteers, whose work behind the scenes and throughout the evening made the event possible. Their continued efforts, along with the generosity of the community, sustain our mission.
