Jocelyn Callahan - Rest in Peace

Our beloved Jocelyn passed away the morning of Monday August 25th. She was only 25. Jocelyn was such a joy to have around the Gulu – always full of life and laughter. We miss her greatly.

I personally want to thank everyone who supported our fundraiser for the Callahan family on Friday August 30th. Over 40 different local businesses donated items for Friday’s auction.  Hundreds of people came out to attend the event and donated money.  And by the end of the night over $11,000 was raised!  This was truly unbelievable – you all should feel really proud for what you made happen. 

The biggest party of the year and Jocelyn was the star.  She would have loved it!
 
First and foremost I want to thank the Gulu's staff - you all worked incredibly hard during an incredibly difficult week. You guys are the best and the Gulu wouldn't be the same without you!

Below is a partial list of people, artists, and businesses that donated their time or money to make sure Friday’s event happened.  Support your local businesses - they will support you.
