A big THANK YOU to everyone who came out and joined us for our Community BBQ! 💜

We loved seeing so many people come together, enjoy a meal, and support the Harding County Community Foundation and our plans for the new basketball & pickleball courts.

We’re so excited about what this project will bring to our community, but we still have a ways to go with fundraising! Every donation—big or small—helps us get one step closer to making these new courts a reality.

Thank you for continuing to show up and support projects that make Harding County an even better place to call home. 💜

Donations can be dropped off at Pioneer Bank & Trust in Buffalo! Or drive by the courts & scan the QR code!

The Harding County Community Foundation is excited to announce plans to transform the old tennis court behind the old gym into a new community recreation space featuring a nearly full-size basketball court and two pickleball courts.

We’re especially honored to announce that Casey Peterson, LTD, as part of its 50th anniversary celebration in 2027, has committed $50,000 to invest in multiple rural communities it serves.

We’re also incredibly grateful to Harding County alumnus and Casey Peterson LTD Vice President Mark Lyons and his wife, Micki, for their generous personal contribution in support of this project and our community.

With an estimated project cost of $102,000, this will truly be a community effort. Every contribution helps create a place where kids, families, and neighbors can gather, stay active, and make memories for generations to come.
