Our 3rd annual fundraising event was held on Sunday April 13th at Class Act Dinner Theatre. The live play, "The Foreigner" was very entertaining, the buffet was absolutely delicious and the door prizes were fantastic. Class Act donated $30 from each ticket back to DWWAP. We had a sold out show and raised $ 6,330 which went directly towards our operational costs. Thank you so much to everyone who contributed, and to Class Act for a fantastic afternoon.
