All proceeds from the event and silent auction directly benefit programs in the six Central Florida counties served by Girl Scouts of Citrus.

Thanks to support gained from the event, our girls are already receiving 3 life vests, 2 cane poles, 2 kayak paddles, 3 archery targets, 2 paddle boats, and 2 15’ motor boats to help with the safety of our girls in water activities at both Mah-Kah-Wee and Riverpoint!
