Northwest Ohio Community Shares would like to thank everyone who made the May 11, 2013 Share Our Dreams and the inaugural Celebrity Auction such a wonderful success!

Toledo Harley-Davidson generously donated the use of their gleaming showroom for this multifaceted event. Several Glass City Roller Derby team members volunteered to help out with the event. Our own Board Members and their friends provided much of the labor. Nick & Jimmy’s served up wonderful appetizers (Nick was outside manning the grill). Local musicians Bobby May, John Barile, Frankie May and Danny Jahns rocked us all with their great sound. Reporter Malena Caruso of 13abc graciously stepped up as our Celebrity Auctioneer to oversee the fun.

Thank you to our generous sponsors who made this event possible:
