Byron's Bars and Football Fans Unite for Charity Hilarity

In an inspiring fusion of community spirit and sports enthusiasm, the Byron Youth Football Association has ingeniously partnered with local bars to create entertaining charity events. These events blend the excitement of horse racing gambling with the community’s shared love for football, offering a creative way to support various local causes.

A Saturday of Fun and Funds

According to kaaltv.com, Byron’s sports fans and community members gathered in local bars last Saturday, partaking in a fun-filled horse racing gambling event to raise money for charity. The star of the day was the pull tab horse racing game, where participants eagerly tried their luck for a chance to win a jackpot prize.

Saluting Supportive Bars

For the Byron Youth Football Association, these events are more than just a new way to fundraise; they are a heartfelt thank you to the local bars that have faithfully supported them over the years. John Stemper, the association’s president, proudly shared that in about a year, they’ve successfully raised several thousand dollars for a range of causes.

Generosity Gallops Forward

Saturday’s event at Smoak BBQ saw the association rake in approximately $500-800, a testament to the community’s generosity and the event’s engaging format. Stemper noted, “We support Rochesterfest here in town and the Pickleball association, things like that, on Smoak Barbecue’s behalf.”

Winning with Pull Tabs

The unique feature of these events is the horse racing pull tab game. Community members purchase pull tabs, and if the tab reveals a horse, they get a chance to watch their chosen horse race on TV. Winning the race unlocks a jackpot, merging the thrill of gambling with a genuine cause to contribute to.

Upcoming Events

The association’s charitable journey continues as they prepare to set up their next event at 3-D’s Sports Bar on the third Saturday of next month. These events not only bring fun and engagement but also serve as a vehicle of hope for a multitude of local causes, ensuring that the sustaining spirit of community and charity rides on.

Join the next event and be part of something bigger, where your cheers support not just the races on the screen, but the community around you.
