At the end of October, our Empty Bowls & Trivia Night Fundraiser brought the community together for an evening full of fun, laughter, and generosity — and we’re thrilled to share that it was one of our most successful events to date!

We had an incredible turnout with one of our highest attendances ever, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the support from everyone who attended, sponsored, donated, or volunteered to make the night such a success.

A Huge Thank-You to Our Supporters

A heartfelt thank-you goes out to our emcee, Johnny Duncan, for keeping the energy up and the crowd entertained all evening long!

We’d also like to give special recognition to our event sponsors for helping make this fundraiser possible:

Judy’s Mobile Homes

Anderson’s Corner
Helen & CJ Bell, who generously sponsored the desserts provided by The Red Bird Café 🍰
FNB Bank, Inc.
The Bank of Romney

Thank You to Our Food Donors
