Bates Mission

In the early days of Bates Mission, Whitney didn't drive her usual car to the Panhandle. She drove a box truck stuffed with supplies and a lot of hope.

Five years later, we're reflecting on what that scrappy season built in us and why we think it always will. Our latest blog is up at the link below.

Can't make it to Borger on July 9? There's still a way to be part of Christmas in July in Purse Bingo.

We're currently accepting donations for our silent auction — think gift baskets, experiences, products, gift cards, or anything you'd love to bid on yourself. If you have something to contribute, we'd love to hear from you.

And if donating an item isn't in the cards, a financial gift goes directly toward making the event possible — and toward the young adults we serve in the Texas Panhandle.

It doesn't take a ticket to make a difference. 💛
