Vegan Awareness Festival & Fundraiser for Rowdy Girl Sanctuary

May 2, 2015 • 10am – 6pm

May 8th is the deadline for the Indiegogo Campaign where we are raising funds to transfer ownership of 28 cows into Rowdy Girl Sanctuary. Tommy, my 4th generation rancher husband has not made any money on this ranch since February of 2014 yet the expenses keep on going. Once this initial campaign is funded ($35,000), we will be well on our way to obtaining our 501c3 so that we can be considered by corporate sponsors. In the meantime, your donations and support of this project is paramount. (See Indiegogo to see description of project, how much has been raised to date and how many days are left in this campaign.)

This May 2nd fundraiser is my final hoorah that I will be using to garner the needed support so that we can fund the campaign, transfer the cows and hopefully have enough left over to begin fixing fences, building barns, attending to medical needs of sterilizing bulls and updating farm equipment.

Tommy and I are both committed to doing everything we can to represent these cows as their ambassadors now. We are here to serve our greater Brazoria County community and the state of Texas, in leading the way for other farmers to have an example of compassion towards farm animals. We are committed to raising vegan awareness as a necessity for not only animal rights, which are paramount, but also for environmental and health reasons.

It is time to rethink our food choices. Our choices do matter. They will make or break our future. Thank you for reserving your place to be with us on May 2nd. Any contribution you make goes directly to support the sanctuary.
