Proceeds from these events benefit The Hope Fund by Hendrick Health, established in 2001 to assist those who may be financially limited to get mammogram screenings, diagnostic mammograms and breast ultrasounds at no cost. Funds raised from the Brown County event are used to benefit women of that county.
For this year’s theme of “Deep in the Heart of Texas,” participants are encouraged to don their best western duds, hats and boots to join the more than 1,500 women and men raising dollars and breast cancer awareness.
Tickets and tables are available for purchase online at hendrickhopefund.org. The registration fee is $35 per player, and tables of eight or 16 are available. Commemorative T-shirts are available for purchase online or at the events.
Bunco is a fast-paced, group dice game that requires little to no skill to play. Players take turns rolling three dice in a series of six rounds. A Bunco is achieved when a person rolls three-of-a-kind and all three numbers match the round number. Full tournament rules are available on the registration website.
