Ward just told me that "we are needing sponsors, auction items, cook bag swag, volunteers, and this year we need bottled water. If you can help, tell them to call me please."

So here goes, my friend and neighbor GT Ward can be reached at 325-669-6200 or by calling the Ben Richey Boys Ranch at 325-692-2500. G.T. went on to say "if they want to email me, send it to eaglebbq@att.net.
