Hidden Acres Thoroughbred Rescue Fundraisers
GlobalGiving.org April Challenge
Dear Friends and Fellow Horseman,
For those that are not familiar with me, my name is Suzanna Norris. I am the owner of Hidden Acres Equestrian Center, and the President/Founder of Hidden Acres Thoroughbred Rescue (501c3) in Brevard County. Like many of you I live, sleep, and breathe horses and my life would be incomplete without them. I have rescued and helped horses all my life, but after finding out about the vast number of racehorses that go literally from racetrack to slaughterhouse in just days I decided to make it my life’s mission to help as many of these horses as I can through fundraising and awareness efforts.
April is a very exciting month for Hidden Acres Thoroughbred Rescue! We have been accepted by GlobalGiving.org to participate in their April Challenge where by raising $4000 this month we will be continually eligible to run international fundraising projects with the support of Global Giving’s fantastic website. Their will be a report on exactly where the funds brought in were used to help these horses. Will you help us achieve our April goal to help set us up for future fundraising success?
