Dream Center receives donation
ADB and Sparklight donated $10,000 to the Longview Dream Center during the Trunk or Treat community give-back event Oct. 29 at the Longview Exhibit Building.
Also during the event benefiting the Dream Center, $500 was raised through a raffle for an Xbox One Gaming Station and six new bicycles were given away in a free raffle drawing for children ages 3 to 17. More than 1,500 people attended the event.
