We Broke the Ark Barrier!

Third time's the charm! Heifer Happening earned a grand total of $6,681.49, $1,681.49 more than an Ark. We are so thankful for all the market visitor's who purchased animals. Together they raised $4,567.00. Our Change for Kids Challenge was a great boost raising a total of $1,180.14. We were particularly surprised by Faith United Methodist, which contributed the highest amount at $802.30 and won our "You Really Got Our Goat!" trophy. Other funds were collected through smaller ventures such as the Heifer Cafe and the Take Your Photo with an Animal Booth.
We would also like to thank our business sponsors for their gracious donations totaling 900 dollars. They gave us a head start on exceeding our goal, and we are exceedingly grateful. Be sure and say thanks to Russ' Restaurants, Dan Vos Construction, Quality Industrial Services, H&W Farms, BHT&D Financial Group, Dr. Linda Satterlee, Grand River Physical Therapy, LaFontsee Gallery, Brann's Steakhouse, and Affordable Feasts. Their support gave us hope and confidence.
We also have to thank the many Heifer volunteers who spent hours preparing booths, recruiting partners, coordinating materials and bringing in animals. Heifer Happening wouldn't happen without our dedicated volunteers.
