Four hundred guests attended the Sept. 22 Fredericksburg Tea Party Boots & BBQ fundraiser at the YO Hotel & Conference Center in Kerrville with speaker Charlie Kirk. A silent auction, barbecue dinner and live auction rounded out the evening and the Fredericksburg Tea Party raised $47,000. As is the custom, the organization awarded 10% of the proceeds to a non-profit organization that fulfills the basic principles of FTP. Heart of the Hills MOM Center was chosen as the 2023 recipient.
