TOCO 2008
General Information
TOCO is Grateful for the Support of the Community!
We Couldn't Do it Without Your Love!
Thank You to all the Volunteers, Musicians, Artists & Friends Who Donate their Time to this Special Event Each Year!

For charitable & educational purposes, TOCO (Tapestry of Community Offerings) organizes family themed events in order to raise awareness & financial support for regional families & children in need.   This year proceeds benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation©.    The Make-A-Wish Foundation© grants special wishes for children with serious illnesses.  Both TOCO & Make-A-Wish© share the belief that life should be measured in memories, not years!  Please go to TOCO & make some of your own memories while helping youngsters live their dreams!
