Round-up for Rehab Looks for Livestock
Overcoming hard times is not a unique story in West Texas; however, watching children who suffer disabilities light up because they are able to do something they love is a great testament to what West Texas Rehabilitation Center is all about. Donations to Round-Up for Rehab make it possible for Michael and Breanna to reach their goals and full potential whether that’s managing the junior high football squad or riding a new tricycle.
Four-year-old Breanna and 13-year-old Michael are too active to notice that hundreds of ranchers are equally busy. Their goal: rounding up livestock to sell at special auctions this fall so WTRC can help them overcome the disabling effects of injury or illness.
Local Round-Up for Rehab chairmen Tammy and Butch Halfmann have a simple but sincere message to Glasscock County area ranchers: Let’s help Rehab help Michael, Breanna and 21,000 other Rehab patients this year, many of whom will receive therapy at WTRC-San Angelo.
Fall Sales Dates
Fall sales of particular interest to area ranchers are the cattle sale Sept. 28 at Producers Livestock Auction in San Angelo and the sheep/goat sale Oct. 30 at Junction Stockyards.
WTRC President Woody Gilliland extends a special invitation to everyone in the ag industry to attend one of the sales, donate cash or animals to the project, or notify Rehab of an intent to have an auction house cut a check to WTRC for animals sold later in the year. “For the hundreds of children and adults we serve regardless of financial status, I thank everyone for supporting this critical fundraising program,” said Gilliland.
Information on Round-Up sale dates and arrangements for hauling donated animals is available through local chairmen or WTRC-San Angelo at 325/223-6300. More information about WTRC’s services is available at their website: www.westtexasrehab.org.
