The Allen County Animal Rescue Facility (ACARF) received the bulk of the funds, with some money going to area schools. Students helped with the fundraising effort by selling tickets for a drawing for a trip to Branson. The schools’ band programs received $500 to go toward purchase of a vibraphone. The high school’s drama department received $345 for the Players and Thespians clubs, including help with next year’s 60th Little Oscars celebration.
