Description

Mess Night, a Marine Corps tradition, is the backdrop for our annual fundraiser.  During the event, we have a President of the Mess and Vice President of the Mess.  There are fines for infractions for breaking rules.  Several of the graduates of our program will speak about the dark place they lived after they were discharged from active duty and how they got their lives back after participating in the FOCUS program.  It will be heartfelt and our guests will know that because of their donation, they saved these veteran's lives.  Also, we hold a silent auction and a Fund-a-Need oral auction.  Dinner and drinks are served and it is held at Sunset Country Club.  About 200 people will attend.
