The benefit dinner held on November 20, 2011 for Tony Bradshaw and Tonya Reavis was a huge success. Family, friends and co-workers of the two individuals affected by cancer would like to extend sincere thanks to all of the businesses, organizations and community members for their donations of time and goods. As donations keep trickling in, it is estimated the proceeds will near $11,000 to split between the two.

There was a 50/50 cash raffle drawing that brought in $1,004 and the winner, Grace Dickerson, took home $502. The winners of the silent auction items can be found at below.
