A big thank you to everyone that supported and donated to our V-day fundraiser benefiting the old Sacramento’s iconic sign project! The fundraiser was a great success with lots of amazing gift bags and A la Carte items picked up and delivered. We are incredibly thankful for all the support especially from our amazing donors that provided one of a kind gifts and experiences to sell for the fundraiser. We look forward to seeing the dollars raised help complete the iconic sign project to elevate Old Sacramento, and the small businesses that rely on the visitors to our region.
