Goat Canucks Goat

With the Vancouver Canucks set to make a deep run into the play offs, we are looking for something that will help drum up support in areas of the world where they play hockey with one piece sticks that are literally just sticks... and use empty turtle shells as pucks. Well... probably. Anyways, since it is tradition that during the play offs we grow a play off beard or a goatee, the goal is to buy a goat for a family living in poverty for every Canucks win. That's 4 goats per round x 4 rounds = 16 goats. Each goat is $25 for a total of $400. A small price to pay for winning the Cup. The more people that get in on this, the cheaper it will be. Also, if Vancovuer wins the cup we are buying a village an elephant. If you don't have money, or facial hair, that's okay. Then just join the group for fun and support. James Wasmuth has volunteered to buy the first goat. Way to go James. We are still looking for a good name for this initiative. Some suggestions so far are: Facial hair because we care, Hairy goats, Beards for a cause.

Go Canucks

About the goats...

When disasters or conflicts occur, families are often forced to flee, leaving everything. Sometimes they live in camps for years. Once their land is safe again, CRWRC helps the family to return. Unfortunately, all too often the conflict or disaster that destroyed a family's possessions also destroyed their livelihood. One of the most precious commodities can be livestock. Provide a goat to help a family resettle in their land; give them a head start in rebuilding their lives.

In the Vancouver Sun...

Not entirely sure how an elephant would contribute to the village...

That was a joke... I'm pretty sure it's illegal to purchase elephants...
