Fan Fare Friday Thank You!

We would like to thank all who supported and participated in Fan Fare Friday during this 20th Anniversary of the Fan Drive! Your generosity made the day a great success. We were thrilled to see many long-time friends of the fan drive and quite a few new faces joining in the effort to Keep Central Texans Cool.  We would like to thank 93.3 KGSR, KXAN and Threadgill's for helping us make the event happen! We would also like to thank our 2010 Fan Drive Sponsors, Team Drives, businesses, individuals, musical guests, volunteers and staff who supported the event. 

We're excited to announce that we raised $63,550 in fans and funds which would not have been possible without your help!  We thank you for your generosity, big hearts and helping hands.
