The Arc of Katy holds successful Barn Dance

Our members, their families and friends joined in festivities of our annual Barn Dance on April 1 to raise funds for The Arc of Katy.

The family-friendly event, held on the grounds of The Arc of Katy facility in Brookshire, featured delicious BBQ brisket, cooked by our friend and supporter, Don Wolf. The Katy Cowgirls attended with some of their horses, which was exciting for The Arc of Katy participants and other guests. We also enjoyed games, music, dancing, and the popular cake walk.

We recognized 30 participants of The Arc of Katy as “Boot Scootin’ Buddies at the event for each raising $25 or more in donations in their honor. Brandon Sepeda was recognized as our top fundraiser and Mark Bryant was recognized as having the most individual donors.

Special thank you to Bronze Sponsors who donated $500 or more: American Eagle Outfitters, Pat Doucette with Edward Jones, Brewhouse Bakers, the Mary Harris Family, Steve and Cindy Sieck, the Melissa Diaz Family, the Kares/Sepeda Family, Dennis and Jeanne Ann Combrink, and Randye McAnally.

Also, special thanks to our barn dance raffle donors, The Great Texas Pecan Candy Company, Charls Yard Cards, Intoxicating Creations, Barbara Ricks, and Sandi Dancel.

Volunteers are important to an event of this size and so we also extend thanks to the Katy National Charity League Chapter, Star National Charity League Chapter, American Eagle Outfitters (three area locations), Seven Lakes High School Student Council, DJ’s Roger and Rhonda Martin, Kelsey Johnson, the Katy Cowgirls, The Arc of Katy staff, members of our Barn Dance committee, and participant families.
