Bach Barn Bash

This year, BACH (Brazoria County Association for Citizens with Handicaps) is celebrating 35 years of service to Brazoria County children, who have developmental delays or disabilities, and their families. 2008 BACH Barn Bash Volunteer Steering Team Members are preparing for the June 7th event with the 35th Anniversary celebration in mind. Event Chairman Shane Pirtle has set a $71,000 goal for the event which will take place at the Brazoria County Fairgrounds. Last year's BACH Barn Bash brought in $69,500 to help provide much-needed services to "special" children. Sponsors for the event are still being sought. Sponsors will be recognized on a donor display board, in the auction programs, and receive complimentary tickets and an event plaque. For more information on sponsorships, contact Dan Swords at 979-864-0159, or the BACH office at 979-849-2447.
