Many thanks to all who participated and donated that may not be mentioned, please know that without all of you none of this would be possible.


And last but far from least, let us not forget Supreme Council Knights of Columbus for their matching funds program which has reached its original goal of 1,000 Life Saving Ultrasound Machines Order wide.
