*We Love Our Buckaroos Virtual ConcertConcert Donations Can Be Made HereDue to the COVID-19 global pandemic, we were not able to hold our annual BBQ fundraiser. ALL of our fundraisers have been changed, canceled, or put off until the fall. HOWEVER, we needed funds to help pay the children’s therapy bills for the upcoming months. We did not have enough money to meet the therapy scholarship demand until that time. In lieu of the BBQ plates, we had an amazing virtual concert LIVE on our Facebook page! Music by Jesse “Outlaw” Howard and Nick Wood of Fat Lip Including parent testimonies, slideshow of therapy sessions, and interview with owner Kristye Chastang *Barnyard Movie Night Is Coming On October 5th 2019!
