PERK Garden Party Success!

What an incredible night! We were blown away by the support, love, and camaraderie we felt during the PERK Garden Party Fundraiser. PERK friends, supporters and guests enjoyed a memorable evening on September 14th, with our outstanding guest speaker Dr. Pierre Kory.

Event Emcee, PragerU personality Aldo Buttazzoni, was an excellent host who helped us honor Filmmaker Mikki Willis and Captain Cristian Granucci. Other special guests included Dr. Mark McDonald and Dr. Judy Mikovits!

We would like to extend a special thank you to our Gold Sponsor, Laura Dunn, for her generosity in supporting PERK’s Garden Party. Laura Dunn’s sponsorship allowed us the opportunity to fill 2 tables to full capacity with First Responders. PERK honored them for their heroic defense of our communities and freedoms. Theses firefighters, including Fire Fighters for Freedom representatives, offered their unique support in honor of our guest speaker, Fire Captain Christian Granucci, as he was given an award and shared his story for the first time.

We also offer gratitude to the Tash Family and the gorgeous Eden Gardens setting. Guests loved the impromptu collaboration from Melissa aka Baethoven, our violinist, and Deepak Ramapriyan during their rendition of “Stand By Me”. Thank you to our Silver Sponsor Spencer and Alison Gordon and Rhonda Finby. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With appreciation for the evening's generous contributions, we raised over $367,000 in donations directly to PERK. Thanks to all who made this possible. We are so grateful!  This movement is powered by people. It’s amazing what we can do together when we join forces toward a common cause. 

Thank you for your generosity and support.
