The Amateur Rodeo

Our 2nd annual Townie Together is 1 MONTH AWAY! We couldn’t be more excited for the beautiful day of community and goodwill that this is shaping up to be. We want to highlight the beneficiary of this year’s event, Joey Huffman. Joey is an incredibly kind and inspiring human who lives here in Harrisonburg. He has helped many people in his life and now it’s time for us to help him. He has been diagnosed with ALS, also known as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease.” Please consider donating to this GoFundMe, all of which goes directly to Joey and supporting his ever-increasing medical and direct care expenses. There will be multiple avenues to donate at the event on May 30th, but why not start now? If you have any questions, please reach out to Erika Furrow or John Yoder Gullman. Much love everyone! ❤️
