Why Participate?

Funds raised at Tee Up 4 Tails will help us continue to save animals like our Silly Sally Sue. After years of abuse and neglect, she made her way to the little red barn and is one of our longest residents. Sally and over 2,000 lives have been saved thanks to those who support our mission and help us grow. Thanks to generous sponsors, all funds raised for the tournament will go directly to the animals and their care! 

About Always & Furever

Established in May 2018, we have had the privilege of saving over 2,000 animals from high kill shelters and owner surrenders.  Our mission is to ensure that these animals know love, kindness, and compassion in their golden years.  The primary goals of our organization are:

Rescue – Always & Furever rescues senior dogs (as well as some younger dogs and cats) from kill shelters where the odds of them finding a home are bleak.  They either are placed in foster homes or come live at our Ever After farm.  Our open environment concept allows dogs living at the farm to roam free in the barn and sleep on couches and dog beds.  Living in an environment as close to home as we can create. 

Advocacy – Always & Furever works with local rescues and agencies to advocate for animal rights.  Engaging with elected officials, law enforcement, and other related parties to create positive change. 

Service – Always & Furever gives back to our community through our Random Acts of Kindness program as well as doing outreach and assisting other local rescues on philanthropic causes.  Recently launching our Operation LRB PAWS which assists shelters in need.

As a 100% donation based organization, we rely heavily on our volunteers and supporters such as you to help our mission continue.  Veterinary bills alone can reach $50,000 a month and in addition there is food, maintenance, supplies, as well as boarding costs for our dogs that we cannot house at the barn due to legal limits.  These dogs are placed in the best boarding facilities and we work tirelessly to find them their forever home. 

Tee up 4 Tails is in lieu of our annual Golden Gala this year. It serves as one of our largest fundraising events of the year, so your support in any way is greatly appreciated! Since we know not everyone is a golfer or lives in the area, we wanted to provide a virtual opportunity for the friends of our little red barn to participate. 

In the weeks leading up to the tournament which will take place on Friday, June 11th, we are asking our supporters to fundraise which will be included in the final amount raised for the event. We have a big goal, but with your support we know we can reach it! Create a fundraising page for yourself or your family and at some point during your fundraising, participate in a golf-related event such as (but not limited to): 

- Hitting a course in your area

- Head out with family or friends and play mini golf

- Enjoy a golf-related game like Wii golf or Golden Tee

- Get creative and turn your house or yard into a golf course!

Be sure to take pictures and videos and share them with your potential supporters so they can join in on the fun! For each person that raises at least $100, you will get an Always & Furever hat and there will be additional prizes for the top 3 fundraisers. And be sure to use the hashtag #AFteeupfortails21
