Outback Steakhouse hosts celebration as 19th Annual AIDS Walk/Run final tally reaches $197,895!!!
Final figures from AIDS Community Resources’ 19th Annual AIDS Walk/Run now total $197,895 – an increase of more than $11,000 from the total announced at the end of the event at Beaver Lake Nature Center June 5, 2011 ($186,598).
To celebrate, ninety individuals who raised $500 or more became part of the exclusive $500 Club attended an all-expenses-paid, prize-filled luncheon sponsored by Outback Steakhouse of Clay.
Many thanks to the crew of Outback Steakhouse near Great Northern Mall: Dan Streeter, Rebecca Harmon, Kristen Woods, Crystal Thomas, Brad Woodard, Dan Zimmerman, and Chad Reidy for the great service and scrumptious food at the $500 Club party.
