Donate Boots For A Good Cause

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Cowboy BootsDo you still remember what you bought on Cyber Monday? Of course, I do. Shoes.

Well, to be exact, boots.

I think it’s time to dig through the pile of shoes in my closet and find a few pairs of cowboy boots I never wear. What for?

Donate them. The American Paint Horse Foundation is asking for new or gently worn boots for young riders.

APHF, a nonprofit organization, has joined with Camp Carter YMCA, a popular retreat in Fort Worth, Texas, that teaches thousands of children each year each how to ride and educates them on equestrian-related topics.

The camp needs the boots to properly gear up the students who are learning to ride.

If you have boots accumulating dust, well, donate them for a good cause.

You can drop off the boots at the World Championship Paint Horse Show at Will Rogers Equestrian Center on 401 W. Lancaster Avenue June 24 – July 4 or anytime at APHA headquarters on 2800 Meacham Blvd.
