2011 BACH Roll N Stroll

Individuals, companies, families, church groups, civic organizations, volunteers and supporters; people all across the county;  are gearing up and forming teams to participate in the 2011 BACH Roll ?N Stroll. Teams can be a minimum of 2 people, your family, company, group or the entire neighborhood! Prizes will be given to the team with the most spirit, the team who raised the most money, the individual who raised the most money, and the best dressed child. Incremental prizes are available to individuals who choose to raise funds for the BACH fundraiser.

Many of the teams who have participated in the past have chosen fun and/or outlandish costumes or themes to attract attention to their group and entertain the crowd.

The event, which involved over 600 people last year, is scheduled for March 5, 2011 at the Brazos Mall in Lake Jackson. Local school bands, clowns, and other sparkling personalities will be on hand to entertain the children, young and old alike! The event begins with a spirited and leisurely stroll around the inside of the Brazos Mall and then moves to the heart of the event, the BACH Children?s Fun Run! Current and former BACH clients WOW the crowd in a non-competitive race for a first place trophy. Flashing the crowd with a race t-shirt and a smile on stage, each child receives a trophy and a cheer!

For 38 years, BACH, Brazoria County Association for Citizens with Handicaps - has been providing much-needed educational and therapeutic services to the citizens of Brazoria County. BACH is a non-profit, 501c(3) organization which is supported in part by a grant from the Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services, (DARS), Division of Early Childhood Intervention (ECI). Although DARS provides nearly 75% of funding for BACH's ECI Program, in order to receive that funding, BACH must raise matching funds. BACH?s 3 annual fundraisers help to support that match and other BACH programs. Approximately 3% of BACH's budget is supplied by United Way of Brazoria County. In fy2010 BACH provided services to over 1600 children in Brazoria County.

Companies & individuals are invited to sponsor the event at the $100, $300, $500, or higher levels. Sponsors will have their names printed on the event T-shirt and displayed on stage on event day.

The BACH Roll 'N Stroll event proceeds will be used to fund BACH Programs and services to children, birth to 12- years- old, in Brazoria County.
