WE DID IT!

We are extremely proud to announce that our community has rallied and Holland 300 Campaign has met its goal.

In just over two months, the Holland 300 Campaign has had many inspiring moments, including the generous donation of $3000 from longtime community supporters Edna and Bruno Benna; $1000 donations from HeideMarie Rochlin and SilverSky Group; anonymous donation of $20 each from “five Reno teens;” and the donations from Reno bands My Flag is on Fire, Praying for Greater Portland, and Apprentice and the Total Professionals. Local businesses such as Cepage, Lincoln Lounge, Imperial Bar and Lounge, Crush Hair Studio, Neverender, Black Hole Body Piercing, Sticker Guy, Babboo, The Blue Plate, Bootleg Courier and the Great Basin Food Co-operative also showed their support for Reno’s all-ages movement. The biggest moment in the Campaign came last week when Kristin and Klaus Grimm/Draper Family Foundation announced they would match the Holland 300 when 150 members had joined.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to all the Holland 300--to all the individuals who rallied for Holland, to those who asked their friends and family to give, to the businesses and bands who showed their support, to friends in Seattle, New York, and LA--we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

And now, we celebrate! Stay tuned for details...
