April 28, 2012 will be the date of the upcoming first annual LIGHTHOUSE 2911 COASTAL BANDS BASH held at the Calhoun County Fairgrounds, in Port Lavaca, Texas. From noon to 10 pm, music from area talents such as Cary Windham, Smokey Wilson, Dennis Jay, Missoula Slim, Sister’s TWO and Texas Rhythm Band, just to name a few will be playing all day for free. The fundraiser is for non-profit group Lighthouse 2911, to continue outreach programs for at- risk and disabled kids and their families. We are also in the process of trying to build an EQUINE Therapy Center outside of Edna, Texas. This center will teach kids the entire process of caring for horses, as well are develop emotional bonding and gross and fine motor skills in kids of all kinds.

Lighthouse 2911 recognizes that our children are suffering from abuse, neglect, bullying, grief and other such life altering events. We bring the tools, workshops and coping skills to try to break the cycle and safe our future. We are mainly funded by private donations at this point, as grants are hard to find these days.

This will be a family friendly event- for kids of all ages. There will be some kid activities, food and drink booths and lots of great music. We are looking for corporate and business sponsors to help offset the venue and kid’s activity areas. There is no entry fee, but Lighthouse 2911 requests donations once inside pavilion to help offset the costs of production and to be placed in our foundation for future workshops for kids.
