The Longhorns & Lace Benefit & Sale is just as its name implies - a Benefit for worthy charities, and a consignment sale for all interested (& preferably female) Longhorn breeders.
The Consignment Sale portion will operate just like any sale typically does. Consignors will pay a consignment fee to consign their Longhorn(s) and a commission will be taken from their sale price. Consignors will receive all other monies associated with their animals' sale. Consignors are not expected to donate any portion of their profit unless they so choose.
Charities will benefit from this event through several avenues. Having secured sponsors to donate many of the items and services that typically comprise the high cost of hosting a sale more revenue is able to be directed to benefit the selected charities. Please take the time to visit with these generous sponsors during our sale! During the Friday night and Saturday sales several auction items such as furniture, gift certificates, clothing and more will be offered. Since these items have been donated, all proceeds can be directed towards the chosen charities as well. Each item will be offered for sale only once. Finally, the sale hostesses are not involved to profit themselves, but rather to raise as much money as possible for the designated charities which allows for additional money to be donated.
Please find below a list with links to the Charities chosen to benefit from the Longhorns & Lace Benefit & Sale. If you have any questions about this event or the charities chosen please don't hesitate to contact one of the hostesses today!
Team Special Operations Warrior Foundation
Story Media
The Special Operations Warrior Foundation mission is devoted to providing a college education to every child who has lost a parent while serving in Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps Special Operations during an operational or training mission. The forces covered by the Foundation are some 50,000 military special operations and support personnel stationed in units throughout the United States and overseas bases.
The Warrior Foundation is currently committed to providing scholarship grants, not loans, to more than 760 children. These children survive over 600 Special Operations personnel who gave their lives in patriotic service to their country, including those who died fighting our nation's war against terrorism as part of "Operation Enduring Freedom" in Afghanistan and the Philippines as well as "Operation Iraqi Freedom." To date, 143 children of fallen special operations warriors have graduated from college.
The Special Operations Warrior Foundation also provides immediate financial assistance to special operations personnel severely wounded in the global war on terror. Once notified of a special operations soldier, airman, sailor or Marine hospitalized with a severe injury, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation immediately sends funds to the service member (or his/her designated recipient) so the family and loved ones can immediately travel to be bedside.
To date, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation has provided over $700,000 to wounded special operations personnel.
