On Monday, Branton Ramsey Legacy Foundation presented a check for $774 to the Institute for the Creative Arts High School Art Department. This money was raised through the MAGIC of Art Silent Auction held during Brantstock August 21-23! The funds will help provide supplies and materials for students to create, explore and grow as young artists.

It’s especially fitting that we made this donation during National Arts & Humanities Month, a time dedicated to celebrating the arts and the important role they play in our communities.

Supporting young artists is an important part of BRLF’s MAGIC (Music, Art, Gaming, IT & Career Development) mission and we couldn’t do it without YOU!

A huge thank you to every business that donated an item, every student who shared their artwork, and everyone who placed a bid. Your support is the reason we were able to turn a silent auction into $774 of opportunity for young artists.

This is what happens when our community comes together and believes in the MAGIC of what young people can do.

A huge thank you to Angel Flesh for their support of BRLF and for performing at Brantstock 2026 at The Good Fight Venue. We're honored to have them as a long time supporter.This was their third year to perform and some of the band members have also supported us by attending the first two years before they got in the lineup. Their powerful metal sound and high-energy performance brought an incredible intensity to the stage, and we're always grateful for the passion they bring to Brantstock!

Brantstock helps fund the Branton “Buddy” Ramsey Memorial Scholarship at Carl Albert State College, Teens Teach Tech, and our future Music Scholarship Program to help youth who may not otherwise be able to afford music lessons or instruments.
