A month or two back I asked for suggestions of arenas in the DFW area for an adopt-a-thon. We ended up going with a cowboy church arena in Alvarado (due to cost and location), but I wanted to thank everyone who gave me suggestions - and share with you the details of our adopt-a-thon. Would love to get to meet some of our Texas COTHers.
Feel free to share with anyone who might be interested...
Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society is excited to announce our Bluebonnet Adopt-A-thon – an event we’re hoping will become annual!
This year’s Adopt-a-thon will take place on May 14th, 2011 at the Bar Cross Cowboy Church in Alvarado, Texas from 10:00am – 4:00pm. We’re hoping to have 20-30 adoptable horses on hand to meet the public.
In addition to the adoptable horses, there will be trainers giving training and behavior clinics throughout the day, a silent auction featuring horse and ranch themed art, clothing, crafts and jewelry, and a sale area that will include new and used horse tack and equipment. Proceeds from the silent auction and sale area will benefit the horses of Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society.
Pre-approved adopters will be allowed to adopt at the adopt-a-thon on a first-come, first-served basis, will receive 25% off their adoption fee and will be able to take their new horse home the day of the event. Anyone who applies to adopt a horse at the event, is approved and adopts within 30 days of the event will also receive 25% off their adoption fee. Anyone interested in being pre-approved to adopt can download an adoption application off the organization’s website at http://www.bluebonnetequine.org.
We still need help to make this a successful event. The organization is currently seeking:
• Event Sponsors – Sponsorships start at just $25 and the organization offers varying benefits depending on the sponsorship level.
• Tack and other horse-related items – The rescue is seeking new and used tack, farm and ranch items and horse and ranch-themed jewelry and home décor for a the silent auction and sale area. All donations are tax-deductible.
Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to improve the lives of equines by educating owners, assisting law enforcement agencies, rehabilitating abused and neglected equines, and placing them into safe, permanent homes. BEHS has been overwhelmed with calls about starving horses throughout Texas, and the organization hopes to make the Bluebonnet Adopt-a-thon an annual event that will enable them to help many horses throughout the year.
