There was plenty of sunshine and plenty of smiles at the Marie Canine Plaza as we distributed over $380,000 in 31 grant awards to nonprofit agencies! These unrestricted grant awards are rewarding for everyone involved - our nonprofit agencies who continue to work tirelessly to make our community better; our donors who give so generously to make their charitable dreams a reality; and of course, we feel the joy of being the bridge that brings the two together.

In the midst of the applause and the smiling faces there was one thing that was abundantly clear: our donors, past and present, followed their heart and made a decision that it really is more blessed to give than to receive. Because of them, hundreds of lives have been touched through their generosity. Now that's somthing to smile about!
