Event proceeds also pro- vided $9,000 for the Food for Kids program, which serves underprivileged chil- dren in South County by sending them home with healthy foods. The remaining funds will benefit local and inter- national projects, includ- ing scholarships and inter- national youth exchanges, sponsorship of the all-night “alcohol-free and safe” Sea- side High School Grad Night Party, the Wishing Tree pro- gram, supporting the needs of local seniors, provid- ing water and sanitation in remote villages in develop- ing countries and the eradi- cation of polio.
