The ODBC Foundation Board extends our deepest gratitude to everyone who helped make this year’s fundraising event such a tremendous success.

From the excitement of the Sailing Regatta to the lively atmosphere at the BBQ and the buzz around the silent auction, the day was filled with camaraderie, generosity, and community spirit. With great food, drinks, music, and company, the energy was unmistakable.
