“Our community came together and made this a landmark season. People came out in record numbers to support the Chris Ruby Memorial Cup, benefitting Nevada Donor Network. Total fundraising for High Fives Foundation surpassed $70,000 this year. We feel fortunate to have a community that values giving back,” says Jim Seely, Lee Canyon’s director of marketing.
