Exceeding Expectations
July 11, 2016
After many months of prep, planning and hard work, it is sad to say the 20th Annual Corndog Kickoff Benefit Auction and Fair Food Grazing Party has come to a close. Beyond the eight staff members that worked countless hours to make the event a success, it was the volunteers and the patrons that truly made this year’s Corndog Kickoff the best yet!
With over 2,000 people in attendance, and some of our most dedicated donors, this year’s Corndog Kickoff will be known for breaking records. Last year’s Kickoff set a new standard, and this year’s shattered the mold. While the final tally is still being figured, we know that the Kickoff raised over $600,000. Being involved in the organization, planning and the behind the scenes work, it was great to see the auction conclude with such great enthusiasm!
As we are putting our follow-up lists and things to look for next year together, the staff here at the Blue Ribbon Foundation wants to thank everyone for their contributions at this year’s Corndog Kickoff. Whether you volunteered, attended, donated items, bidded and/or enjoyed the great Fair foods available, the 20th Annual Corndog Kickoff could not have been the success that it was without your help! THANK YOU!!!!
