Salvation Army BCS raised a little more than $44,000.
Salvation Army captain, Luis Villanueva, said he is very thankful for the team effort that made it possible.
“Even our staff members they help us, you know, even the mayors they contributed with that, rotary class, all those civil organizations, church members, even people at Walmart, you know, they help us a lot as well, and some anonymous donors who gave us checks for that challenge as well,” said Luis Villanueva.
