Comment from Mary Surprenant to Neuhoff Media:
AUDIO: I have met so many incredible people. But most importantly, the dollars that we all have raised as a community have impacted so many lives, to bring the biggest impact as possible for some of the most heavy needs within our community. And I couldn’t be more proud of our board. And I’m really looking forward to passing off the keys to the organization with the engine running.
