Sammy’s Backpacks BBQ & Car Wash Fundraiser — Join Us August 8th!

August 8, 2025 — Rain or Shine!
Time:
11:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Why We’re Doing This
This event is about more than food and soap suds.
We’re here to honor the legacy of Sammy Graham by helping kids in our community start the school year with dignity and supplies they can be proud of.
Five years ago, we lost Sammy to first-degree murder. As we face the final trial on October 6, 2025, we carry deep pain — but we also carry Sammy’s kindness forward through acts of service and love. Sammy’s Backpacks is our way of keeping that spirit alive.
