<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Randy Rogers Family Foundation has presented $50,000 to the Humane Society of the New Braunfels Area, turning a day of pickleball and live music into support for local animals. The check was delivered October 19, following the foundation&#8217;s second annual Pickleball Jam.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Held October 11 in New Braunfels, Texas, the event combined a tournament with an acoustic concert featuring Randy Rogers, Jon Wolfe, Josh Grider, and Drew Kennedy. The setting was the Park Haus, LLC parking lot near Rogers&#8217; downtown bar, Lost and Found.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Songs, service, and adoptable dogs</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even the team names came from the Randy Rogers Band catalog, including &#8220;Kiss Me in the Dark&#8221; and &#8220;Pour One for the Poor One.&#8221; Humane-society volunteers brought adoptable dogs around the event, with adoption fees sponsored by Tito&#8217;s Vodka, according to the foundation&#8217;s announcement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The work began before the fundraiser. On August 25, volunteers from the foundation and Tito&#8217;s Vodka for Dog People spent four hours at the shelter clearing a walking trail, putting in shelving, and organizing the area used to store kennels and other supplies.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Before each Golf Jam and Pickleball Jam event, the foundation volunteers with the beneficiary organization to help maximize its impact,&#8221; executive director Courtney Bukowski said in the announcement.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Listening to what the community needs</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rogers described the day of service as a way to listen, identify a need, and bring people together to meet it. In this case, the help included both money raised through the event and hands-on work at the shelter.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That is the useful connection for readers following community stories here at CountryMusicNewsBlog.com: the concert was one part of a larger effort, with a named local beneficiary and a confirmed donation.</p>
