Also at the convention, we hosted a fundraiser table where we sold Crispy Cream and Publix donuts along with a 50/50 raffle. Thank you to all who contributed to that as well! Because of you, we were able to successfully sell all 6 dozen donuts and were able to complete our 50/50 raffle in one day! Congratulations to our 50/50 winner!
