Preston would like to thank everyone who supported them. “You truly make the difference for us,” she said. “We are extremely grateful!”
Childress Women’s League members have a special thanks to Fatboy Hat Owner Kevin Jones for making sure they had the opportunity to have their annual shirt fundraiser. They also honored Iris Energy at the event for giving them a $10,000 community grant.
