Welcome to Community Backstop

Community Backstop is focused on meeting the needs and improving lifestyles for those who have found themselves in overwhelming situations. You can be involved in helping an individual or family in their time of need; someone who lives right in your community.
Coming off a hugely successful sixth annual Texas Hold 'em fundraising event last year, we are quickly approaching the 2012 event on Thursday April 19. For those of you who were there last year, NBC news aired an interview with the family who attended and one of our founders the day after our big event. Please click on the link below to check it out:

We are off to a great start with four presenting sponsors for the 2012 event:
Blank, Rome LiquidHub Stevens & Lee NewSpring Capital
These firms have been long time supporters of CB and we are grateful for their generosity once again. Please go to the Upcoming Events page for more details about the upcoming fundraiser on April 19.
