We wanted to take a moment to say thank you for the overwhelming support received at Saturday's NIPPON Family Fundraiser Community BBQ. Our hearts are full and we managed to raiser over $80,000 for the families directly impacted by the tragic accident. As a few more dollars are trickling in, we will write a check to Lower Columbia Longshoremen's Federal Credit Union later this week. Please keep the families in your thoughts and prayers and stay as a community.

This came together so fast, I apologize if I missed anyone who helped out. There are also many other fundraisers going on, so thank you to everyone helping out!

Some people and businesses to thank.... (Facebook won't let me tag this many, sorry)
