$4000 raised for band, tornado victims

Friday's New Richmond High School Talent Show and fundraiser for Moscow tornado victims raised nearly $4000.

"The fundraiser made $1645 for the band from the talent show revenue and about $2200 for the Moscow community," announced fundraiser organizer Sue Griffin.

Money for the Moscow tornado victims will go to the New Richmond Food Pantry for distribution.

Another $200 is expected when silent auction items are paid and $80 from the NCAA bracket fundraiser.

"Thanks to everyone who helped Friday and everyone who donated items," said Griffin. "I'm very appreciative of everyone's efforts to make the event a success."
