The Amazing Race & Wild Places Horse Rescue

With one of the groups that I'm apart of up here, I was able to find a good friend Kelly. She is vegan, animal lover, gentle, and a great person to be around. Her dream has come true about having a horse rescue. The part that's really hard about starting a horse rescue (like every dream) from the ground up, is that it's hard to find the time to work, keep your passion and dream nurtured, and not get discouraged when you hit a brick wall. Well, I actually am sponsoring Maggie the Mule from her rescue for Violet's Christmas present, and we're planning (through) the group an Amazing Race Style fundraiser. That's where this post comes in, The Compassionate Vegan is sponsoring a team and I'd like to help get my team votes.



"The Amazing Race" for animals, benefiting Kelly's horse rescue "Wild Places Horse Rescue" in Guffey Colorado is now posted! There are 9 teams so far so if you'd like to sign up head over to her site OR if you'd like to vote for a team head here! http://www.wildplacesrescue.org/vote.htm

With the purchase of every shirt, the company gives $7 dollars of the purchase to that weeks organization. You are able to keep up with the organization, to see how funds are being used....

I've gotten 4 shirts from them, and they're a great quality. Super soft!

For some in my family, I'm sponsoring rescued animals for a year. With some organizations you'll receive a letter and photo. (If you're looking for a throughout the year letter and photo, double check. Some will only do one.) Again, this is great looking into for kids that may have too many toys, but are still wanting to open something. Plus, this teaches about being responsible with animals/kids and that there is more to life then toys/games.....

For the loved ones in our families, that may not see eye to eye on our views. (My friend gave me this idea.) She will fill up a reusable bag with documentary of choice and then add items that go along with it. For example, she gave a documentary about energy, filled up the bag with CFLs and information on doing a home energy audit. Peaceable Kingdom is a good choice. It's about farmers that once ate meat and gave it up, either because of health, environment or the love of their animals and the rose colored glasses being removed.....
