Registration now underway for Run to eRace Child Abuse 5k, 10k
Deadline arrives to secure tickets for annual Wade Busby Memorial Casino Night By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Seguin) -- Plans are in place for what has been described as one of the largest fundraising events in Guadalupe County. The Wade Busby Memorial Casino Night Fundraiser runs from 5 to 10 p.m. Saturday at the Columbus Club Hall of Seguin, formerly known as the KC Hall. Mark Cerda, one of the founders for the fundraising event, says people who are interested need to contact him this Friday in order to secure a ticket as they too are known to sell out before doors open.
By Cindy AguirreHerrera (Cibolo) -Guadalupe County's first and only shelter for foster kids will be running to you this weekend for a little support. TruLight's Youth Village located near Marion will be hosting its second annual Run to eRace Child Abuse 5k/10k. The event is slated for Saturday at Discovery
Church in Cibolo. The much anticipated shelter officially opened a few weeks ago and is already serving area kids who otherwise might have found themselves sleeping on the floors of the CPS office due to the lack of foster homes in the area. Jennifer Obearle, the executive administrative assistant for the Youth Village, says this weekend's race in Cibolo

will be the first of many fundraisers to come for the non-profit facility. Obearle says working to meet the needs of these kids will be an ongoing effort from here on out. "We've finally opened The Village out in the Seguin, Marion area and we 've already got 12 kids out there and we are getting a couple more today so that's really exciting," said Obearle.

"So there is no tickets available at the door. We do have a few tickets left that you can acquire by calling me at 830-305-3861 or you can come down to the K.C. Hall. We will be there all day until 6 o'clock or 7 o'clock (Friday) and pick up the tickets that way but Saturday during the event, we will not sell tickets at the door," said Cerda. Cerda says the memorial is organized as a way to remember his best friend, Wade, who if alive today would also be doing his part to support kids in agriculture. "The money that we raise at this one night event goes to support youth in agriculture. We sponsor where we will help kids at their local stock shows, at Guadalupe County, Bexar County, Wilson County, LaVernia, Comal County. We've even gone down to George West and Luling and then we go to the San Antonio Stock Show and try to support kids there also and so we are able --

in the 15 years that we've doing this, we've been able to support over 6,200 kids with $1.5 million in funds. It's absolutely phenomenal. In our first event, we raised $11,000. Last year, it was $240,000. It seems to continue to grow. People see what we are doing with the money that we are raising and they want to be part of it. They want to support and we are there to support kids involved in agriculture and if Wade was still alive today, we'd still be sitting down there doing the same thing," said Cerda. See WADE, page 3
