B’s Backpack Brigade

Unfortunately we are going to have to hold off on the B’s Backpack Brigade benefit this year….things just are not lining up like we intended them to do so! And rather than “throwing things together” we want to make sure it’s perfect for everyone involved…..we may do a little Fall get together to get ideas storming for next year 🙂 so stay tuned…..and trust me when I tell you this isn’t goodbye; it’s See Y’all Later!!! We aren’t going anywhere; just revamping!!!!

August 6, 2022….save the date! Details to come

Hello! Just wanted you to know we do plan on doing this event this year and will have details soon hopefully!

Amazing…..

Thank you everyone for your amazing hearts!!! Because of each and every one of you we have been able to donate two totes full of backpacks and supplies to both Tri Elementary and Knightstown Elementary; we were also able to give each school a monetary donation to help with book rentals, iPads, or whatever they need to make some kids’ lives a little easier this school year!!!!

We also made a monetary donation to Henry County Sheriffs Department for their upcoming SWAT training (we all know that is what Brantley wanted to be when he grew up: a police officer 👮) so it felt appropriate to do this as well!

We still have some money to donate and we are thinking a future hero scholarship at the end of this school year ❤️❤️❤️❤️ as well as making arrangements with Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital to bring them their donations 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Again without all of YOU this wouldn’t have been possible; thank you for keeping Brantley’s name “alive” and carrying on his dreams and wishes

Anyone that took pics yesterday could you please send them to us or post them!! We’d love to see them!

You guys!!! What an amazing day. The weather held out and so many showed up and showed out. We ended up with almost $4,700!!!!!!! For a first year ride that’s AMAZEBALLS.
So many people to thank!
Everyone that donated raffle items, everyone that donated food and other items, all of the stops on the ride you were all sooo good to us, those that gave their time to help yesterday, those that shared our posts, those that gave enough though you couldn’t come. Those that prepared the hog for us (it was more than delicious), those that helped keep things in order during the ride and helped get the food ready. I’m sure I’m forgetting some….because SO many people go into making an event like this a success. We had so many backpacks donated that we aren’t sure where to put them all!!!!!
We’ve learned a lot this year and we know a lot of what we will and won’t be doing next year. We hope you mark your calendars to come join us next year….rain or shine!!!
Kira and Bobby….Brantley’s name will forever live on and so many kids are going to be blessed with this ❤️❤️
