Thank you, Cards Against Humanity, for your contribution and continued support of Desert Bus for Hope!
We here at Desert Bus would like to take a moment to recognize one of our very generous food and drink sponsors, Six Mile Pub. As most of your know, a lot of the Desert Bus crew are stuck here for many MANY hours during the run and, as as it turns out, we need food and drink to survive (who knew, right?). We couldn’t make it through this event without the generous support of sponsors willing to provide us with the sustenance and energy we need!
Located at 494 Old Island Highway, Six Mile Pub and Eatery continues to be the “Living Room” and the “Dining Room” of the community, the Six Mile Pub has her reputation firmly rooted in the quality of her products and services.
This year, they have generously donated a large platter of fruits and veggies for the crew!
Thank you, Six MIle, for your wonderful donation to the Desert Bus crew!
