Summary

Evidence limits

The result comes from the local organizer’s contemporaneous report. It is useful for the reported collection total and community participation, but this archive does not hold Versiti’s independent unit ledger or donor records.

Sources

  1. The organizer reported that the July 30 32nd annual drive had a goal of 60 units and collected 75, described as the second-highest collection to date.
