"We greatly appreciate all those businesses that have been affected by the flood this year and have continued to support this event,” said Meg Johnson, lead organizer for GOGBOB. “We encourage everyone to support them.”
The Auxiliary supports various other hospital projects, including education, hospital equipment, and help for people who can’t afford their prescriptions. The money made from the 2019 GOGBOB will go toward purchasing special Staxi wheelchairs for the registration area.
