Picnic in the Grove 2023 Recap

Our third annual Picnic in the Grove event was a huge success! Keep reading to learn about all of the fun we had, the amazing turnout, and the final tally of the funds we were able to raise for REAP!

This year’s event included a corn hole tournament, a petting zoo, and a basketball game. Kids in attendance were able to create art pieces with their handprints and then were sold in a live auction! These pieces will be hung at the Springbud's homes in India.

We were also incredibly blessed to have the premier fundraising group in Austin, Cowboy Auctioneers, donate their time to help put on the live auction. Thank you SO much to the Cowboy Auctioneers for all of your help!

We had 225 attendees this year and our very own Dr. Jayakumar was in attendance too! He joined in on the fun and shared the history of REAP.  It was amazing to see so many new families at this year’s event and to be able to share what God is doing in India.

In all, we were able to raise $255,000 dollars! Truly incredible. We could not be more grateful to every single person who made this possible. These donations will help to deploy 25 church planters over the next year as well as the ongoing needs of the Springbud Children's Homes. 

We already can’t wait for next year!
