   Here's a look at the activities of some of the organizations we support…

The students at Ridley High School were excited to win a Justin Bieber concert and all had a great time. But the real winners are the people that Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry can feed with the money raised. In all, $6,200 was raised — $5,200 from tickets along with a $1,000 contribution by Taylor Community Foundation. A group of die-hard Bieber fans just before the show.
