Country music star Luke Bryan and Caroline Boyer Bryan have giant hearts and they are pouring a ton of love into an organization dear to their family, The Brett Boyer Foundation.
As fans can recall, Luke and Caroline lost their infant niece, Sadie Brett Boyer, back in February due to a series of health issues. The foundation was created by Brett’s loving parents, Bo and Ellen Boyer, in honor of their little girl’s memory.
“I wouldn’t change Brett for the world, but I do want to change the world for her and all of her friends with DS [Down syndrome],” Ellen explained in a heartfelt message posted on the organization’s official website.
The Brett Boyer Foundation’s goal is as follows:
“The mission of the Brett Boyer Foundation is to raise awareness for children with Congenital Heart Disease and Down Syndrome through the funding of advanced, targeted research to improve patients’ lives and to provide education, housing and financial support to affected families.”
In October, they launched ‘Bike for Brett’ to raise awareness and money for their cause. All proceeds raised during the month-long campaign went straight supporting GiGi’s playhouse, a Nashville-based Down syndrome achievement center.
Of course, Luke and Caroline participated in the charitable push and prompted others to join in!
Besides biking for Brett, Luke and Caroline have another ongoing project in the works— Brett’s Barn! The little barn located on the couple’s property is filled with an array of barnyard friends and has been playing host to some really awesome guests like Caleb!
And little Luke…
Brett’s Barn is also open to considering special requests… especially when it involves mini-llamas and cute kids!
During an interview with Taste of Country Nights, Luke revealed more about the plans surrounding “Brett’s Barn.”
“Now we’ve turned the white pony that my wife was going to get Brett … we’ve turned our little barn into this place called Brett’s Barn. We’re working with some local charities to bring kids out to see the animals and stuff like that,” the star explained.
What a beautiful way to remember Sadie Brett and make a difference in the lives of other children. Share this awesomeness with other fans of this tight-knit and generous family!
