"I have guests now that drive
12 miles, who came here originally for a fundraiser.
And so we see these folks sometimes two or three times
a week. I know that by the time you have grandma and
grandpa come out to support their grandchild, once I
get them in here, I keep them. So it's the new guests
we target."
