Sincerest Thank You’s …

We are thrilled, honored and quite tickled pink to be able to announce that our year- end fundraising drive raised over $11,000 for Grand Canyon River Guides and our many important programs! It is extremely gratifying and even humbling to know that our members are such steadfast supporters of our efforts. The list below reflects all year-end contributors as well as those unsolicited donations received within the last two months. We wish we had space to list everyone who has donated to gcrg over the year. Each and every one of you has our sincerest appreciation! We also apologize for anyone we may have missed in this listing, so please let us know.
