Mission
Our exempt purpose is to raise funds which we then contribute to various charitable, educational, and community organizations. Our fundraising activities involve general appeals for funds but additionally we organize and stage fundraising events such as golf and softball tournaments.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
We raised money which we then donated to various community, charitable, and educational causes. We raise the money by organizing and staging certain events such as golf tournaments, softball tournaments, and crab feeds. During the holiday season we focus on a program called toys 4 tots.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $61k to $89k (+46%).
