The Payton Wright Foundation

Badger Bob's is a longtime supporter of the Payton Wright Foundation. All families, no matter what their situation prior to diagnosis, face severe financial burdens when they have a child with brain cancer. Treatments are expensive and may only be available some distance from home. Parents have to take time off work to attend appointments and care for their child, and special equipment is often needed. The Payton Wright Foundation provides assistance by paying for gas cards, monthly rent, mortgage and utility bills.

American Cancer Society/ Making Strides

In addition to sponsoring, the Badger Bob's team is expanding its normal contributions and has registered a team for the 2023 event. The Making Strides movement raises lifesaving funds that support breast cancer patients, survivors, thrivers, and caregivers through every step of the journey. We've enhanced digital offerings available to anyone across the nation, including one-on-one breast cancer patient support services and the use of video chat to safely connect patients, caregivers, and family members with valuable services and resources through our website, in addition to a 24/7 helpline.

My Hometown Fest

By attending My Hometown Fest, you do more than just enjoy a fun day filled with great food, craft beer and spirits, music and fun activities for the entire family, you also help hundreds of area children and their families with speech, language and hearing disabilities. All proceeds from My Hometown Fest go to support local charities Sertoma Club of Greater Sarasota & Sertoma Kids, Inc.
