The fundraiser — which comes on the heels of the telethon — is the second largest local source of income for the club that provides programs for 1,700 youth. The telethon raised $109,000, some $41,000 short of the goal.

They have added live music this year featuring the 2008 Manteca Idol winner and the band that are donating their services for free.
There is also a drawing and an auction.
