One can never forget to acknowledge those who help to make an event that produce thousands of people from all cultures together in one place. There are definitely so many people that put in their heart and soul to make this event possible. The many nameless volunteers who worked so hard from the days, weeks, and months leading up to the big day. They lost sleep. They spent their own hard earn dollars. They did car washes, had concerts in an effort to raise enough money to help continue a tradition that unify cultures, that put smiles on the faces of many young and old, black and white. They do deserve a s salute.

Next but not least, the following sponsors and supporters who provided the financial backbone that is very much needed on top of the passion and hard work of the volunteers. They too are part of the force that make this world a better place. On behalf of all the volunteers and staff of CASNET, the people from Washington, Oregon, California and eleshwere who were able to attend, thank you for making it possible. The memories of the event will be cherish for years and years to come.
