No child deserves to live in fear! Bikers Against Child Abuse, Inc. (B.A.C.A.) is a nonprofit 501-C-3, tax-exempt international organization with a chapter right here in Texarkana. The organization was founded in 1995 with one man’s desire to help just one suffering child, an eight-year-old, who was so frightened by his perpetrators that he would not leave his own home. The founder, having had kind and loving experiences with bikers during his own childhood, was moved to include this boy in his biker circle.

The stands are full of rodeo fans who have come to participate in a piece of southern culture. … photo by Todd Brewer Photography … One of the most exciting, and by far, the most dangerous rodeo events is bull riding.
