Thank you so much friends, family, and guests for whats become, for us, a symbol of support, remembrance, celebration, and community building.

We have delivered a donation to the Adam G Gatchell Memorial Fund a 501c3 Organization on your behalf, as well as some food and cash donations to the Old School Food Pantry.

Both organizations, as well as other local food security and recovery support non-profits, benefit from year round support and contributions, so please continue to do what you can when you can.

Our family and volunteers close out the Stomp, each time, so exhausted and so grateful, humbled, and satisfied.

The attendees of the Stomp, this year, contributed generously towards recovery efforts in the River Valley area, and towards a generous delivery, today, of shelf stable food items to the Old School Food Pantry.

The pantry would benefit from continued donations, if so inclined. Its a great local resource for local familes and seniors

Thank you, everyone. ♡
