There were over 500 attendees at the 18th Annual Red, White & Blue Veterans Banquet and through their participation, buying raffle tickets and donations we were able to raise $15,000 which has been distributed back through veteran’s service organizations within the county to be used through their benevolent funds to help veterans and their families.  Some of the funds were also donated to the Bastrop County Veterans Honor Guard and the Bastrop and Elgin High School NJROTC to support their programs.  The Red, White & Blue Veterans of Bastrop County is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization and gladly accepts donations throughout the year.
