DONATE TO THE "NO-GO" DOWN
The “No-Go Down” raised about $25,000 from ticket sales and donations – thank you to everyone who contributed! This is a generous sum of money considering we had to cancel our event. If you haven’t yet, please donate to our “No-Go Down” fundraiser. Funds raised from successful Ho-Downs have allowed us to pay bills, fund much needed improvements on our parish grounds, and give extra to our parish school for required maintenance needs.
Mail a donation to the office or donate at mhtveseli.com/veseli-ho-down. Donations will be accepted through the end of the month. Thank you!
