Bees4Vets now helps First Responders

Bees4Vets now helps First Responders

Bees4Vets is pleased to announce that we are now also accepting First Responders with PTSD and/or TBI as students.

Due to the incidence rate of PTSD among First Responders, we have decided, with the support of our existing students, to accept First Responders as students in our program. If you know a first responder (Fire, Law Enforcement or Medical) with PTSD or TBI, please have them contact us. We are accepting students for this year’s program right now.

Thank you for supporting Bees4Vets and helping us help our Veterans and First Responders.

RAFFLE!

We’re doing a raffle! In order to help fund our 2019 Veteran student-beekeepers we’re raffling some great prizes! Tickets are $10 each, or 6 for $50. The proceeds will help us provide our program for another 10 students in 2019.

Your raffle ticket gives you a chance at winning a prize, the top prize being a $1000.00 gift certificate to the Peppermill Resort Spa Casino in Reno, NV.* There is also a Champagne Balloon Ride prize, valued at $500.00, with an additional prize that we are waiting on confirmation from the donor. There will also be a few gift baskets.

Most importantly, your $10 will help us help more Veteran students like those featured in the video below (or follow this link.)

Your $10, or $50, or more will help us make a difference in the lives of more veterans. None of our personnel are paid, we’re all volunteers at Bees4Vets. All of the money raised will go directly to supporting this program that helps local Veterans with PTSD/TBI. Please, buy a ticket or 6 or more! Your generosity will benefit someone who needs our help.

You can purchase tickets from any Bees4Vets officer, director or volunteer or from our raffle page. See https://bees4vets.org/raffle to purchase tickets online or for further info.

 

Thank you.

Thank you all Veterans

Bees4Vets is grateful to every veteran who served our nation, protected our freedoms, and answered the call for self-sacrifice. You are our heroes, and our family.

We are humbled and honored to serve each of our Bees4Vets student-beekeepers. Thank you for all that you have given us, and allowing us to give back with our honey bees. We wish you all peace on this day of remembrance, and pride, of our armed service members.

“True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost”. Arthur Ash

Thank you for the donations

Two bee keeping vendors made donations to Bees4Vets this year. Those donations directly help support the equipment needs of our program and students.

I want to thank Brushy Mountain Bee Farm and GloryBee for their generous support of our program and students. Without the support of the beekeeping community we wouldn’t have as nice a program for our veterans.

If you would like to support our program, we can take donations via PayPal, check, or cash as well as donations of equipment. We also accept volunteers to help our students lift and move hive boxes, etc.
