Published Monday, December 19, 2011

Rockin' By The River, ReSource's 25th anniversary gala, was a rousing success with more than 300 attendees.

The event, chaired by community volunteer Amelia Crutcher, raised more than $100,000 for ReSource, which moves donated products from the private sector to local charitable organizations.

Ralph S. Michael, III (Mike), President and CEO of Fifth Third Bank, Greater Cincinnati, was honored for his community leadership and the support that Fifth Third Bank have given over the years to ReSource as one of their founding corporations. Jeff Brantley, Reds commentator, served as the emcee and shared some of his favorite baseball stories.

The event was held at the newest event venue along the Ohio River, Montgomery Inn Riverside Pavilion, and guests were treated to the best that Dean Gregory and Montgomery Inn have to offer.

Guests enjoyed fine wines, savored sweet treats and bid on auction items including a Jamaican villa for eight and a Reds suite for 12.

ReSource thanks all of our generous corporate sponsors, volunteers, guests and other friends who made this the agency's most successful fundraiser ever.
