Camp Friendship Auxiliary’s annual holiday party fundraiser was once again a success this year, raising $22,530 for True Friends.

It was held just before Christmas at the Camp Friendship Dining Hall. Over 300 guests enjoyed tasting wine samples, delicious hors ‘d oeuvres and homemade treats, prize drawings, door prizes and 50/50 cash drawings.

The party also featured a large silent auction with 147 silent auction baskets.

True Friends extended thanks to the Auxiliary members for their hard work and dedication, and to the businesses, donors, and event guests who helped ensure the holiday party was fun and successful.

“True Friends is thankful for the involvement, commitment, and dedication the Camp Friendship Auxiliary has to True Friends,” said John LeBlanc, president and CEO of True Friends. “Their holiday party and year-round activities make a tremendous impact.”
