Rain Doesn't Stop One Fundraising Group From Earning Money For Their Cause

Biloxi, MS - There weren't too many scheduled fundraising events that were able to handle the weather on Saturday, but one group, Crusaders for Veterans, decided not to let anything stand in the way of its goal. The “Respect Our Military Poker Run” didn't really run today. It stayed put because of slick roads, but that's OK.  The rain didn't stop participation - about 100 volunteers, veterans and active duty personnel got in on the fun at Your Mama'z House on Cedar Lake Road in Biloxi.  The rain didn't stop the money from flowing either. Cuttill raised nearly $900 for his Crusaders for Veterans through the poker run donations and a raffle drawing in which everybody - veterans and their friends - had a good time.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
