An early-bird drawing took place earlier, with Alan Manifold winning six Bronze 2024 Season Passes to Waylon’s Water World, sponsored by Waylon’s Water World, a day at Z Fun Factory for six with dinner, go-karts, miniature golf and arcade games sponsored by Z Fun Factory and six active recovery or therapeutic massages by Myolab.

Amberly’s Place uses the funds to help abuse victims with emergency needs. The family advocacy center is a nonprofit organization that provides services to victims of abuse in Yuma County and parts of Imperial County. In 2023, the center served 3,309 primary and secondary victims of abuse.

Primary victims are victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, elder abuse, child abuse, both physical and sexual, and human sex trafficking. Secondary victims are those who witness and/or are directly impacted by the abuse of the primary victim.
