Foundation says ‘thank you’
Dear editor:
On behalf of the Faces Foundation, we want to personally thank everyone involved in the successful outcome of our Second Annual Gowns & Boots Bash fundraising event held at Crystal Ridge Distillery.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to the support of the Bradley family and their incredible facility, Crystal Ridge Distillery.
