Hello friends and family. We are raising funds to support the Golden Circle of Champions pediatric cancer foundation. We want to contribute a local experience like horseback riding or a summer activity for a family to the silent auction on April 1st. All the money raised at the silent auction goes directly toward "Golden Night" at The Elks Rodeo.

The Golden Circle of Champions (GCOC) "Golden Night" is the opening night of the Santa Maria Elks Rodeo, a special event dedicated to honoring local children battling pediatric cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Founded in Santa Maria in 2016, this program provides a "magical night" for these children and their families to enjoy the rodeo while raising critical funds for their medical and living expenses.

This is a foundation close to our heart because, as most of you know, our daughter Marlee-Jo battled cancer at 3 years old. She is now almost 8 years old and cancer-free for the last 3 years! The Golden Circle of Champions has done so much for our family during our battle against cancer that we would love to give back by contributing to the silent auction on April 1st. Any help is so greatly appreciated. Your donation will be helping other local families battling pediatric cancer as well. Thank you so much. The Lino Family.
