Annually, beginning Memorial Day weekend and ending July 4th weekend, the clerks give the customers an opportunity to "purchase" a ticket for $1. This ticket displays a child's picture and gives the customer the opportunity to "Make A Difference" in the life of a child or adult with a disability. This year they raised $10,000 for our programs. So far, Friendly Gus has raised $122,006.49 for our programs and services.
