The Haven Acres Annual Round-Up was a huge success this year!! Approximately 300 people were in attendance, and the feedback we received was extremely positive and encouraging! One of the volunteers said, “I can’t even express how full my heart is! I loved every minute of today. On my way home I felt like I was leaving summer camp!!…I know God was there–I felt His presence…. Thank you for letting me be a part of it.”
The Round-Up is a rodeo-type event that features students from the summer mentorship program performing in an event with their horse. It is open to the community and in addition to the riding program, the Round-Up features fun for the whole family with food, carnival games, pony rides, and a Silent Auction.
We are thrilled to report that nearly $7,000 was raised this year as a result of the generous donations of organizations and families in our community such as yours! Thank you for partnering with us so that we can continue offering encouragement, hope, and mentorship to at-risk youth in the Metro area.
We’re excited to announce our annual Round-Up this year! This event is designed to be fun for the whole family as we support our riders as they demonstrate the horsemanship skills they have learned all year by competing in some friendly horse games. Invite your family, invite your friends, invite your neighbors. We’re going to have fun! We’ll also have carnival games, food, pony rides, a silent auction, t-shirts, a raffle, door prizes, and more!
Heard of Haven Acres and want to see what it’s all about? This is a great way to get to know us. We’ll have testimonials, a tour, and you’ll get to meet the horses and volunteers. Everyone is invited! Just bring a lawn chair and your family!
This year for our t-shirt fundraiser we had six different shirt options including a couple different feminine options and kids’ sizes. Also, for the first time ever, we had one of our own participants draw the horse featured on the shirt! So after offering the shirts for a couple weeks we made $1,040! We are so grateful for this option of offering shirts to our participants and supporters and for everyone who has contributed in this way. Thank you!!
WANTED: Friends of Haven Acres (volunteers, cheerleaders, neighbors, or participants alike)!
Bowling for Bucks is one of our biggest fundraisers, raising over $5,000 each year! It’s also a valuable way for us to get the word out about Haven Acres as the bowlers will be talking to people that don’t usually hear about Haven Acres. Your support allows kids to come out to Haven Acres for the summer free of charge!
This year we will be hosting Bowling for Bucks at Bowlero in Lakeville on April 26th and our goal is to raise $10,000!! Will you consider being a part of this?
Before the event, supporters of Haven Acres get to ask their friends and family to sponsor them in their round of bowling. Sponsors can choose to pledge a flat amount or pledge an amount per point. Then we bowl! Pizza and pop are provided for the bowlers and we usually bowl 3 rounds together. We have forms that you can record your pledge amounts on as well!
A few things:
1. We ask bowlers to set a goal for at least $250.
2. ANYONE can bowl, we just ask that kids under 13 be with an adult.
3. Bowlers are responsible for the cost of their bowling and shoes.
Please let us know by April 19th if you’re going to join us!
