Shoot high. Dream big.
The second annual Judd’s Pay It Forward Picnic, benefitting local children with critical and life-threatening illnesses, has been set for Sept. 19, 2026, at The Rail Yard.
Anderson “Judd” Bryan was a proud Wildcat at Aikin Elementary, where he loved school activities, especially football and basketball games, enjoying sour candies and nachos from the concession.
“He was well-known for his quirky sense of humor and for his encyclopedic knowledge of history. He could often be found researching significant American events and dreamed of becoming a Navy Pilot one day.”
In September 2024, Judd passed away following a courageous battle with a terminal illness.
“Even in the face of unimaginable challenges, he inspired those around him with his strength, kindness, and determination.”
Judd’s Picnic provides immediate financial assistance to help ease the unexpected costs that come with a medical crisis. More than $50,000, supporting 12 families, has been given to local families in the first 12 months.
There will be a small auction, kids activities, a beer garden, BBQ from Scholl’s Brothers and music by Blue Water Highway.
Tickets are on sale now for $25 (kids 10-years old and under are free) and include food from Scholl’s.
