Fundraiser Postponed
The Florence Food Share has announced a postponement of its upcoming fundraiser, Game On: Hollywood Nights, originally scheduled for April 11th at Three Rivers Casino. Organizers cited lower-than-expected ticket sales as the reason for the delay. The event is now being rescheduled for later this summer, with a new date to be announced. Ticket holders are encouraged to contact Colin Morgan at Florence Food Share for more information. Organizers say they remain committed to creating a successful and memorable event in support of the community.
