Bread & Broth Raising Money for Local Children with 'Burlap and Denim' Fundraiser
A fun and unique fundraiser designed to help local children is headed to the South Shore. St. Theresa's Bread & Broth is hosting an afternoon filled with live music, historical ranch tours, horse rides, games and entertainment, and a delicious tri-tip barbeque. This country western 'Burlap & Denim' fundraiser will be held at the 100 acre, historic Celio Ranch in Meyers on Saturday, August, 24th from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m.
All funds raised at this country western barbeque will support Bread & Broth's 4 Kids program. The B&B 4 Kids program began in 2015 and provides weekend food packs for children facing food insecurity. Over 170 children in grades K-8 in the Lake Tahoe Unified School District receive seven individual meals, four snacks, and fresh fruit each weekend during the school year. Summer food packs are also distributed each week during the summer; last summer an average of 225 bags were distributed to food insecure children each week. In addition, over 1,500 nutritious snack bars per month are provided for students at all K-12 schools in the district.
The fundraiser begins at 12:00 p.m. at one of Tahoe's earliest dairy and cattle ranches, Celio Ranch. The ranch is located beside the Upper Truckee River in Meyers on South Upper Truckee Road. This ranch celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2013, and its rustic charm and beautiful views of Echo Summit make it a perfect backdrop for the outdoor 'Burlap & Denim' fundraiser.
The fundraiser features many events and activities for the whole family. Walking tours of the historic ranch, provided by descendants of the Celio family at both 12:30 and 2:30, will highlight the ranch's history, operations, and buildings. Delicious tri-tip sandwiches, prepared by the South Lake Tahoe Fire Fighter's Association along with salads, baked beans, and desserts will be served by Bread & Broth volunteers. Wine, beer donated by local breweries, and lemonade will be available. The Grand Timbers Band will be providing toe tapping live music and line dancing will have everyone up on their feet. Games such as horse shoes, corn hole, outdoor jenga, and ladder ball will entertain everyone, and horseback rides will be provided for the kids. A talented horse will perform and entertain throughout the afternoon for the BBQ guests. In addition, the fundraiser will include a silent auction and raffle with generous offerings from many local businesses and restaurants. Memories of the day can be captured at the country western "selfie" booth.
Tickets for the 'Burlap & Denim' fundraiser are $35 for adults, $20 for children, and an additional $10 if you'd like to participate in one of the two Celio Ranch tours ( please note , there will be no 'ranch tour only' tickets available). A limited number of tickets are available. Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased at www.brownpapertickets.com ( Event # 4286062) or by emailing BurlapandDenim2019@gmail.com.
Join in the fun, wear your denim and lace, and enjoy the beauty of the Celio Ranch nestled below Echo Summit; all to ease hunger for the children of our South Shore community.
