Last Year,
through the efforts of a few dedicated PHJA members, we raised $2800
for the
United States Equine Rescue League (USERL). This year PHJA would
like to extend that effort to bring even greater
relief to horses in need in our community. Throughout 2008 PHJA will
provide opportunities for its members to
raise funds and volunteer time to help local rescue leagues care
for animals in need.
There are a number of ways you
contribute to this year's efforts:
