Support for Families of Baldwin Teens

Donation protected

Sunday 21, 2020 was a life changing day for three local families. Losing a child is a pain beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. The proceeds from this fundraiser will be split evenly among the three families to cover funeral expenses. We ask that you continue to pray for the families and our community as it mourns the loss of these three fine young men.
