The BBBS HELPING
THE BRADFORDVILLE BLUES CLUB
As you may know, late May 2018, a 250 year old oak tree crushed the Bradfordville Blues Club.
BBBS created a 'Go Fund Me' page which raised almost $30,000.00 for the BBC thanks to you generous donations !
In June, 2018, The BBBS gave a check for $27,000 to Gary & Kim Antone for the refurbishing of The BBC from the tree damage and long needed new Sound System.
Another $900.00 was given to Gary & Kim in September as the final donation from the Go Fund Me Site.
