Summer is officially here! Our respite homes are nearly fully booked at the beach and in the mountains. Our Hands On Adventures program has been very active as well, with a huge turnout in Billings, MT, and a special day of blimp rides in Westminster, MD. Last but certainly not least, don’t forget that we’ll be holding our annual $10,000 Cash Bash event tomorrow evening!

The Results Are In!
Hands On Bull Riding
Our partners at Professional Bull Riders, Inc. (PBR) teamed up with us to send critically ill children to the “Built Ford Tough Invitational” in Billings, MT. In one of our biggest outings yet, 24 children from the area got up close and personal with bulls and met championship cowboys!
Hands On Flying
In our own backyard of Westminster, MD, we enjoyed beautiful weather on May 30th aboard the DIRECTV Blimp. Check out pictures from the day and click here to watch a video and read a story from the Carroll County Times!
