Eye on the Buckaroo Ball

I know it's been several weeks since my last post, but this time I would really like to focus on one of the events featured on our event calender, The Buckaroo Ball. This event is June 20-22nd, 2008.

This is a Party with a purpose !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Buckaroo Ball is such a worthy cause-- some little know facts are.

** It's New Mexico's largest single charity event fundraiser for children at risk.

** This year they are celebrating their 15th year.

** Have awarded more than $6.75 million for at-risk youth in Santa Fe County.

**Funded more than 80 non-profit programs including food distribution, family therapy, health care, art education, support for children with incarcerated parents, and numerous other service for at risk children.

The Buckaroo Ball Committee, Inc.. is comprised of 80 professional women volunteers on the Buckaroo Ball Committee, each donating up to 40 hours per week for up to a year. The Buckaroo Ball employees only one staff person.

170+ volunteers donate their time the weeks preceding Ball and Ball Weekend to help with dinner, silent auction and live enertainment.

Headlining the 2008 Buckaroo Ball is Grammy Award winning superstar Travis Tritt.

The Ball is held Saturday evening along with the silent auction and Casino Night.

This is such a worthy event, please visit our site for the Buckaroo Ball web site link to read more about the dedicated women that make this gala event happen.

Thanks
