Tell me a little about “Give a Darn”: 100 Kids That Give a Darn in the Barn was founded to allow kids across the Rio Grande Valley to give back and support the hard working exhibitors of the Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show. Each year around 100 kids each give $100 so that we can give back over $10,000 by buying projects at the RGVLS Sale of Champions and Toasting Texas Talent Sales. This year we decided to put on a prospect show to give exhibitors a chance to show their projects, and raise more money to give back at RGVLS. 22
