Give Back Group Project Spotlight: Holiday on Mane
“Snow and cold weather set the scene for a picturesque Holiday on Mane event,” Dennis Haasl shared.
As part of Team Deck the Stalls, Haasl participated in the Give Back Group program for the Holiday on Mane fundraiser in Elkhart Lake, WI, on December 3, 2023, to raise money for the Amazing Grace Equine Sanctuary.
Many young families were in attendance, feeding horses apple treats, sitting on Santa‘s lap and having a warm bowl of soup. People of all ages gathered around an outside firepit while enjoying warm drinks and socializing for the afternoon. Plus, volunteers made soups and desert treats that were sold to the attendees.
The Holiday on Mane fundraised $2,297.26, and the GBU Give Back Group matched dollar for dollar bringing the total to $4,595.52. "Thanks to GBU we can rescue and care for more abandoned, neglected and abused horses,” Seifert said.
Give Back Groups
If you are working to raise funds for an organization that impacts your local community, GBU will match the funds your group raises, up to $1,000 per GBU member to a maximum of $5,000 per group. Fundraising can be organized in any way you prefer: in person, through a mail campaign or even via Facebook. The funds matching must be for a qualifying 501(c)(3) organization that impacts your local community. The organization must have a listing on Charity Navigator.
