Gray said the dinner raised more than $100,000 for scholarships and junior development programs.

Organizers said the dinner would raise $1 million for lobbying and political candidates.

During its first 25 years, the dinner raised more than $10 million.

State officials said the dinner raised more than $100,000, a record for a Democratic event in the state.

The dinner raised $750,000, but that will not buy much.

The dinner raised $850,000, campaign records show - $350,000 more than its goal.

A fund-raising dinner and art auction in June 2004 raised about $18,000.

The dinner alone raised more money for the Democratic Party than any other single event in the party's history.

In its first year, the dinner drew 500 patrons and raised $20,000.

That game and a black-tie dinner have raised more than $1 million the last two years.
