Old Fashioned Barn Raising!

We will also be having and old fashioned BARN RAISING. Our goal is to
build a 40 x 60 x 16 main barn with two attached lean-too structures
to store feed and equipment. In addition to this barn, we will construct a 12 x 24 pasture shelter for the rescue horses. We needed this barn up yesterday, and construction and a final "barn raising" date will be determined as soon as we have enough lumber and supplies onsite.

In order to have this dream realized, we need the communities support with donations, building materials, and then equipment, labor, food and other items on the barn raising day.

We welcome the assistance of any skilled construction workers, builders, and any willing volunteers to help with this effort. Without this barn, our feed supply for the winter, equipment, and overflow of horses and animals will be out in the cold and the elements. Help us give the critters much needed shelter.

Please call for our materials needed list.

Our main barn burned to the ground several years ago. 

 

Other ways you or your business can help

Throw a party!  What if you invite 10 friends to your home each of your friends contributing $10-20.  Then, donate the funds for a sponsorship certificate of the BFAS animal of your choice! Your gift and their gift is 100% tax deductible. Just think, if 10 of you sponsor your own party, that is $1000-2000 raised for BFAS! Have more friends, sponsor more animals! 

FYI:  It costs $100 to feed one horse for one month.  A vet exam will start around $80 and could reach $1000+ in an emergency in just a few minutes.  Intake for a new dog which includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, worming, leash, collar, dog bed, microchip, and a toy costs well over $300 for each dog.

Teach your children about giving.  Some children have opted to fore go birthday gifts or a big event to collect donations and help animals.  Your child can present their donation in person, will get a VIP tour, and can also choose to sponsor an animal which they can continue to visit.  The donation could be in the form of a check, or something from our wish list.  Tax-deductible too.

Sponsor a Stall!  Sponsorship cost is $2000 and is renewable annually if the donor chooses.  In return donor receives:

  • Engraved brass stall plate with sponsor's name;
  • BFAS VIP list, major donor recognition; but most importantly;
  • The personal satisfaction of knowing that you have made possible a  home for your favorite horse!

Please email us at bfasfarm@aol.com. Please indicate which stall you would like to sponsor and how you would like the engraved plate to read (may be up to 30 characters long including spaces). You may pay by check or credit card via Pay Pal.

Sponsor a Horse Run/Paddock or Kennel Run!  Sponsorship cost is $5000, and in return, donor receives:

  • Engraved brass paddock plate or kennel plate with sponsor's name on paddock of your choice;
  • BFAS VIP list, complimentary admission to all events, major donor recognition; but most importantly;
  • The personal satisfaction of knowing that you have made possible a  home for your favorite horse or dog!
