On Sunday evening Tropical Sno raised $1,025 for Shawn and his family. 100% of the proceeds were donated.
Shawn, his wife, and children greatly appreciate all the community game in support of their recent setback in life. Shawn is a strong young man and will beat his illness, but it helps to have community support to ease the burden.
