According to Kevin Young, approximately 160+ meals were served and over $8,000.00 was raised for the children at Copperopolis Elementary.
In years past this money has gone to much needed school supplies in the classrooms, field trips, science camp and teacher grants for special supplies and projects in the classroom. With cuts ever present and always looming this event allows teachers and students alike to breathe a collective sigh of relief after each Steak and Shrimp Fest, knowing that education is still number one in our community.
One parent put it best, "The children are our future, its important to support those that educate them and give them the tools and supplies necessary to do the best job they can."
Thank you Youngs Payless IGA for continually supporting our community and our youth.
