Thank you to everyone who supported education by attending the 2010 Apple Appeal Starlight Safari on May 14 at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. We were thrilled to bring this event back to Busch Gardens for another year.
It is our pleasure to announce that this event raised more than $65,000 to support the Hillsborough Education Foundation's programs and initiatives! We wish to especially acknowledge Busch Gardens Tampa Bay for hosting another extraordinary event. The personal involvement of the Busch Gardens staff, the dedicated Apple Appeal committee, our generous auction donors, and our guests made this event a success.
Enjoy these photos from the Apple Appeal Starlight Safari. We look forward to another exciting event next year and hope you will join us again.
