On February 29, 2020 we will be hosting our  7th Annual For the Love of the Game Dinner and Silent Auction. All funds raised will go towards all the athletic programs at Braden River High School. A county-wide budget crisis means that the athletic programs in Manatee County are receiving no financial support from the district office. The athletic directors have been told that they must fund their programs internally through ticket sales and fundraising.The programs here at BRHS have conducted many small fundraisers independently, but we are looking to pool our resources together to fund all of our athletic programs through one special event! Please join us and support the athletic programs at BRHS
