05/18/10 Deacons of Deadwood Charity Ball to benefit our Home!

The Deacons of Deadwood Motorcycle Club, formed in 2002, supports local children’s charities through proceeds of the annual Charity Ball. Our Home has been a beneficiary of the Charity Ball in years past, and we are grateful to the Deacons for selecting our Home again this year to receive proceeds from the event!

Join in the fun of the Deacons of Deadwood 2010 Charity Ball and help raise money toward the care of our children!

When: Saturday, September 11, 2010, at 8:00 pm

Where: The La Colombe d’Or Mansion and Le Grand Salon, 3410 Montrose.

The evening gets underway at Artista at 800 Bagby, beginning 5:30 with hors d'œuvre and a cash bar. At 7:30, guests can join in the police-escorted Deadman's Hand Motorcycle Parade to La Colombe d'Or or ride the free shuttle.

Enjoy great music, bid in the silent auction, and enter a drawing for a 2010 motorcycle donated by Republic Harley-Davidson! Ball tickets are only $125 and include your food and drink at La Colombe d'Or. There are also a limited number of VIP tables.

To order tickets or for more information, please contact the Deacons of Deadwood at deaconsofdeadwood@gmail.com.

Deacons Of Deadwood Check Presentation

The Deacons rode out to present us with the proceeds of the Charity Ball in past years, and your participation in this year's event can make it a success!

 

Our friend Sam Allen, co-founder of the Deacons of Deadwood, says of the group:

“This is a diverse club. We have politicians, lawyers, prosecutors and bail bondsmen; entrepreneurs, businessmen, salesmen, oilmen and self-made men; cell phone tower builders and engineers; car dealers, motorcycle dealers, motorcycle mechanics and commercial pilots; computer geeks, college professors and artists; financial guys, construction guys, restaurant guys, night club guys, unemployed guys and retired guys. We even have an opera guy and a hip-hop guy.”

And we at Boys and Girls Country love them all!

Deacons of Deadwood

We honored the Deacons of Deadwood as our 2008 Friends of Children in the Club/Civic Group category for their contributions to our Home and children.  Mike Gatewood, then Chair of the Board, presented the award to Sam Allen, Jay McKendree, and Ricky Cook
