JHSNI’s First Annual “Dollars for Youth” Fundraising Gala was a grand success. Held at Crown Isle Resort in Courtenay on November 14, the gala featured musical entertainment from the Bonnie Mayo Jazz Trio and Island Phoenix Acappella Chorus, delicious food, silent and live auctions, and door prizes. Emcee Gail Bates and Auctioneer Judy Finneron kept the crowd entertained with style and wit. Thanks to all sponsors, donors, attendees, and volunteers, we raised in excess of $ 16,000 for youth in need!
