From KarenTirio, President of McHenry County GOPAC:
Republicans to the Rescue! Together We Did It.
We are thrilled to share the success of Saturday night’s fundraiser, “McHenry County Cares – Emergency Hurricane Relief Spaghetti Dinner.” McHenry County GOPAC was proud to partner with Butch Martin of Trademark Events (former Woodstock VFW location) and County Clerk Joe Tirio to highlight how much McHenry County truly cares.
For just $25, attendees enjoyed a wonderful evening filled with delicious food, music from Variety Entertainment, door prizes, dancing, and a fantastic sense of community. It was heartwarming to see everyone come together, putting politics aside to focus on helping our neighbors in need. Many attendees generously overpaid, showing their compassion for those devastated by Hurricane Helene. Several even entrusted us to send their checks directly to Samaritan’s Purse, along with our total contribution.
Thanks to your support, we raised an incredible $8,087.65 for hurricane victims, with 100% of the proceeds going to Samaritan’s Purse, a 4-star rated charity that provides essential supplies, critical support, and boots-on-the-ground rescue missions to those affected. The contribution expedited by e-check. A detailed report will be filed with the Illinois State Board of Elections to ensure accountability and transparency.
Special thanks to our “Guardian of Hope” and “Champion of Change” sponsors: Doug & Margaret Andrews, Mike Buehler, Jim Kearns, Patrick Sullivan, and Ted Shew. Your generosity not only allowed us to reach our original goal, but exceed our goal by thousands!
