Ruppe Yacht Club
Party Cruise | Aug 26, 2022 | Brookdale Racquet Club, Naperville IL
What an outstanding turnout for our launch of Anchoredforlife.org! The evening could not have gone better...it's as though we had a heavenly helper watching over us, elevating the generosity and joy present on a gorgeous summer night. The response to our funding efforts has been amazing. The groundswell of support to do something more to help Anne and her family, in Paul's memory, was palpable. In one evening we raised over $11,000.00 - Go Team Ruppe!
