GOOD OLE BOY FOUNDATION PARTNERS WITH WBOC
For over a decade, WBOC's Bless Our Children campaign has made Christmas happen for many less fortunate children in our area. Over the years, many of us can remember watching WBOC as they filled their Christmas tree up on-air with cards and donations from the community. Many of you may have often wondered where those proceeds end up. Well, the money raised from this campaign is distributed to local charitable groups across the peninsula that assist families during Christmas.
Last year, the Good Ole Boy Foundation was honored when WBOC selected them as one of the recipients to receive funds from this campaign. These funds allowed the GOBF to assist many more families across our community for Christmas.
This past week on Thanksgiving day, WBOC did a special feature on their 2014 Bless Our Children campaign. We were blessed to be a part of this program as they did a fantastic job highlighting the GOBF.

Welcome Home Brayden
On May 17, 2015 the Good Ole Boy Foundation hosted a Welcome Home Celebration for 5 year old Brayden Houston. Brayden recently came home after a 4 month stay in the hospital while waiting for a new heart. Brayden received his new heart on April 1st.
The Welcome Home celebration was a fun filled day filled with bike decorating, face painting, super heroes, moon bounces, music, free food, and a parade. That's right, Brayden had his own bike parade! The parade was filled with bikes, strollers, wagons, trikes, power wheels, and the Sussex Tech Drum line. Following the parade there was a ceremony to recognize Brayden's family and give honor to the family that gave an amazing gift in their darkest hour so Brayden could live on. To honor this little life that was lost, a single white dove was released in their honor.
The Good Ole Boy Foundation greatly appreciates everyone who came out to support this event. We also would like to thank everyone who supports this foundation so we can hold events like this.
