Brett T. Bailey Foundation’s annual Mako Rodeo

The Brett T. Bailey Foundation will host the 11th annual Brett Bailey Mako Rodeo on Friday, June 14, 2013 and Saturday, June 15, 2013 in Brielle, NJ.

The Foundation will once again be working with local charities and this year their efforts are focused on helping local families affected by the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy. Brett called the shore home, and for that reason the Foundation in his name will work to help the residents in the area rebuild. The charities they are working with are Restore the Shore and the Long Blue Line. The Brett T. Bailey Foundation will also continue to support the NJ National Guard Family Assistance Program and the Wounded Warrior Project.
