AGJA Rippe Donation Heifer Ticket Sales
|
| |
Each year the American Gelbvieh Junior Association (AGJA) holds a raffle to raise critical funds for the association. These funds are used to help cover costs at the AGJA Junior Classic, promote Gelbvieh and AGJA at events such as the National FFA Convention, provide leadership opportunities to AGJA members through the POWER Conference, and provide everyday services to its members.
AGJA members have been hard at work selling tickets this fall. If you have not been able to purchase a ticket yet, please contact an AGJA member or Carrie Tilghman, AGJA Advisor at carriet@gelbvieh.org to purchase tickets. Tickets are $10 each or can be sold in a group of 6 for $50. Every single ticket counts in a big way. The drawing will take place and the winner will be announced during the National Gelbvieh & Balancer® Sale on Sunday, January 11, at the 2015 National Western Stock Show.
A special thank you goes to this year's donor - Rippe Gelbvieh of Hubbell, Nebraska. Thank you to the Rippe's for once again donating one of your best!
