Thank you to the co-chairs of the event, Jessica Todd-Marrone and Kate Remolde for leading such a fun and jam packed 24 hours of curling. The total tally is still be counted, but we far and exceeded our goal this year to help Jeff Harris’ charity of NTAF Mid-Atlantic Spinal Cord Injury Fund (http://www.transplantfund.org/). Thank you to everyone that helped through curling, volunteering, bidding on silent auction items, and hanging out at the club for the 24+ hours of fun!
