On Friday, June 25, young 4-H members in Bee County and the Beeville Livestock Commission will team up for a great cause. The 23rd annual South Texas Cattleman’s RoundUp benefiting Driscoll Children’s Hospital will begin at noon at the Beeville Livestock Commission on Highway 59.

A variety of products and services will be auctioned at the RoundUp that will appeal to ranchers, homemakers and visitors alike. Young members of 4-H will offer a variety of homemade goods. All of this year’s proceeds will go toward new medical equipment and other items for Driscoll Children’s Hospital.

To make a donation and support local 4-H students and their life-saving efforts, you can visit the Driscoll Children’s Hospital web site at www.driscollchildrens.org/roundup, call Driscoll at 361-694-6401 or call the Bee County Extension Office at 362-3280.

Each year, more than 100,000 children receive care through Driscoll, including the 40,000 patients seen at South Texas’ first emergency room created specifically for pediatrics.
