Although the goal amount of $5000 was not reached, Sacred Paths Center’s No Need to Panic fundraiser was considered a success by organizers. The event, attended by approximately 90 area Pagans, raised nearly $3000. Official numbers have not yet been released, but board members say that $350 was raised through the Buy a Bowl dinner, $1700 from the silent and live auctions, and $950 from raffling off the emerald and matrix Goddess statue. Damien Johnson, who was the emcee for the evening, auctioned off items such as a basket of freshly picked vegetables, swords, a kitchen witch, and original works of art.
