It started with a poem...
THE WONDERLAND COMMUNITY CENTER
Earlier this year, nearly 200 stood to donate to the Wonderland Community Center for Youth following Skyler Griswold’s moving performance, “Lucky Little Girl”.
More than $100k was raised, along with the hopes for children seeking a safe haven and a brighter future.
