BACK-2-SCHOOL BEDLAM 2022

Operation Bed Spread still needs your help to provide every child with a bed for a good night’s sleep. This St. Simons Island-based non-profit collects and delivers donated or purchased beds to families and agencies with children in need. To date, nearly 1,500 beds have been delivered. OBS seeks funding and donations to supply beds to everyone on their waiting list and then some. With higher fuel costs and soaring prices, donated funds are critical to their mission. You can help by attending the annual Back-2-School Bedlam fundraiser at Brogen’s South on Sunday, August 28 at 2:30 p.m. There will be live music by local band Idle Hands, food and drink specials. Tickets are $25 at the door. Let’s get kids the beds they need to have a restful and successful school year.

GET YOUR TEAM TOGETHER
