The OFS Friends Board raised more than $52,000 in support of Operation Backpack. This signature event featured generous samples of delicious food and cocktails donated by local vendors. Financial support included contributions from local business sponsors, ticket revenue, and raffle ticket sales, including the Golden Ticket and bundled raffle packages. All proceeds support Operation Backpack, which provides weekly sacks of kid-friendly, shelf-stable food to get students through the weekend when school meals are not available.
