The Founders

It all began in the fall of 2007 when Sandy Cardelli (back right) and Gwenn Tanvas (front left) won a local pool ($44) and pledged their winnings to create an organization that would be supported by local events and benefit our community.

They knew they needed help, so they rounded up the girls and began brain storming with Angie Toney (back center), Tammy Marnocha (left back), and Susi Vandehey (right front).

After many, many hours . . our child was born!
