ASHA Equine Welfare Advocacy Committee Fundraiser

The ASHA Equine Welfare Advocacy Committee (EWAC) needs your immediate help to assure they can assist the near 20 American Saddlebreds that have been legally seized in Boyle County, Kentucky.  EWAC is launching a fundraiser to develop much needed funds to assist these horses. They are asking anyone who is able to contribute to their fundraiser today at the link here and support their efforts to help the American Saddlebreds in legal welfare cases. EWAC is a 501c3, and contributions may be tax deductible.

EWAC is working hard right now to aid the legal authorities in the care of these American Saddlebreds and preparing for additional needed support in other public welfare cases. Recent legal seizures and public welfare cases involving American Saddlebreds have caused a heavy strain on the EWAC funds. In light of the current global circumstances, they only foresee that the number of American Saddlebreds in need of assistance from EWAC will increase and they want to be prepared and able to answer the call of any legal authorities that seek their assistance.

Joint Leadership Council Horsemen's Relief Fund

The Joint Leadership Council (JLC) recognizes these difficulties are best faced when we work together. In this spirit of cooperation, we will use the UPHA Dewey Henderson Benevolent Fund (DHBF) as a platform for joint fundraising efforts. In particular, we are raising funds for a Joint Leadership Council Horsemen’s Relief Fund. This Relief Fund will be specially earmarked within the DHBF to be distributed to horse trainers, instructors and independent contractors in the equine industry who are financially distressed by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. One hundred percent of all donations will be distributed; no amounts will be paid for administrative costs or staffing. Help the JLC fill the gap of those in our community who will not qualify for the UPHA Dewey Henderson Benevolent Fund and help them through the Joint Leadership Council Horsemen's Relief Fund today!  Details regarding the application process, criteria and distribution will be made available by soon. Of course, donations can be made at any time. Donors may click the "Donate" button at www.jlccares.com or visit the UPHA website at www.uphaonline.com.
