To the community,

Soroptimist International of South Lake Tahoe wishes to thank the community and the hundreds of donors who made it possible to donate $50,000 to Jaycee Dugard at the end of 2009.

Because of the parade and the publicity it generated, we received donations from as far away as Hong Kong and New York, but the majority of them came from the citizens of our own community in amounts from $1 to $2,000. The parade could not have happened without the help of all of the following:

Lake Tahoe Unified School District

Lake Tahoe Unified School District maintenance crew

BlueGO Transit

El Dorado County Sheriff’s Department

South Lake Tahoe Police Department

South Lake Tahoe Fire Department

Lake Valley Fire Department

Fromarc Insurance Agency

We also thank the organizers of other fundraisers who contributed to the fund, including Kathy Garcia and Horizon Casino with their “Building New Bridges’ event Sept. 20, Terri Poland and Push Fitness, the Slo Rollers and, in a last drive to get to $50,000 the last few days, Paul Middlebrook and KTHO for their radio campaign.

The $50,000 check was delivered to Jaycee’s attorney Dec. 21 in time for Christmas, and was greatly appreciated. The account at Bank of the West has remained open and any donations still coming will be forwarded to her as they accumulate.

Thanks again for all of the support for Jaycee and her family!
