Fundraising events are just one of the many ways that you can support the James M. Bryan, Jr. "Building Dreams for Youth" Foundation. Each year, the James M. Bryan Foundation has raised over $100,000 from the Spring Event. Coupled with the success of the MES License plate, the James M. Bryan Foundation is approaching $600,000 in endowments and $200,000 to youth on the Mid-Shore.
