4-H fundraiser goat!



You have an opportunity to help raise funds for our 4-H Goat Projects in Kent County.  A little bit from a lot of people equals a good amount of funds for the program.

"Cash" is the name of our fundraiser goat who will be at the Kent County Youth Fair August 5-10, 2013.

The Kent County 4-H Goat Developmental Committee (GDC) will be auctioning "Cash" at the LIVESTOCK SALE on Thursday, August 8, 2013 starting @ 2pm.

In an effort to pool our resources and raise funds, the “Friends of GDC” are collecting donations to purchase Cash. Photos of "Cash" will be posted soon!

You can help support the 4-H Goat Project in Kent County by making a donation—give as little or as much as you want to help the Friends of GDC purchase Cash.

This is a win-win situation—your donation will benefit the GDC even if we don’t win the bid at auction!

Funds are being collected now. If you would like to help collect donations or you have a donation to deliver:

FIRST— Call or email Lori Ostrom your donation information. She will be tracking our progress.

THEN— Funds can be mailed in or delivered to any of the GDC Officers

Battery operated tools best along with hammers, pry bars, wire cutters, shovels, etc.
