The Fundraiser brought in close to $13,000.00 after expenses. We would like to thank the owners of Marguerites, Mattie and Brian for hosting the event, their bartenders for working so hard for the large crowd, Scoti Simpson for coordinating the event, Mae Jones for coordinating the Fun Run, Julie Mitchell and Shelley Arnone for coordinating the Trail Ride, Marcus Gibson for serving as our auctioneer, Honeys and Nuts Cook Team for cooking all of the meat, Jamie and Rusty Girdley, along with their son Cole, for coordinating the live and silent auctions, all of the volunteers who helped the committee heads for all of their hard work, everyone who donated or bought an auction item, and all of our extremely dedicated members who came and voluntered their time to help with many different jobs, and show their support. Without fundraisers such as this, it would be very hard for us to continue helping families. Without our members who give so much of their time and themselves, there would be no Texas EquuSearch.

Below is a slideshow of the Fundraiser — please enjoy!

We recently recovered our 130th victim, and we have brought over 300 people home alive. Requests for our assistance have increased, but our donations are at an all-time low. In today’s economy, it is very difficult for people to pay their own bills, much less donate to charity. Nevertheless, we are in need of immediate cash flow/donations in order to sustain our operations. We want to be able to continue to help families find their loved ones, but it is becoming increasingly difficult with the current state of our funding. If everyone who reads this would donate $1.00, $5.00 or any other amount you can, it will help ensure that we will not have to tell a family we cannot help them because of our finances. Tim Miller made a promise to his daughter, Laura, that he would never leave a family alone. Therefore, we ask you to donate anything you can. Please pass this on to your friends and family. Remember –

“LOST IS NOT ALONE”
