The Bash for the Buddies is the annual July fundraiser for the Buddy Program, and is responsible for raising more than half of the non-profit's annual operating budget. The Beach Boys-themed party gets started at 6pm at the Merry-Go Ranch, and will include a cocktail reception, silent auction, dinner and lots of dancing. The Buddy Program serves nearly 1,000 youth and families in the Roaring Fork Valley, so this is an important program to support. Ticket details at 970-920-2130.
