“A friend who is an ultimate giver of Time, Talent and Treasure; SHARON YONKER. We are choosing to honor her by raising $80,000 for 80th Birthday on July 4th of this year. The celebration began on January 22 with a kick off meeting sharing our vision. To date we have been able to raise $30,000 of this.
