Support Operation Safehouse – Lake Elsinore Storm Fundraiser
Join us for “Operation Safe House Fundraiser Night” on Saturday, July 19th, and August 2nd at the Diamond Stadium of the Lake Elsinore Storm.
Help Raise the Roof!
Unfortunately, in addition to the roof needing dire attention, our walkways and one of our building staircases desperately need to be repaired and upgraded. We have a very large goal with cost estimated to be around $100,000 to complete the work. This will be a huge financial undertaking and we are calling on the community for support.
Please consider giving a gift to the youth in our community by donating to our fundraiser to improve the building that provides so many services to those that need it most!
