Giving Back Foundation provides assistanceMontana The Giving Back Foundation, which was started by T.J. Casey, recently provided assistance to Melville area ranchers who were hit hard by a fast-moving wildfire last fall. Casey presented a check in the amount of $2,000 to Chuck Rein, president of the Crazy Mountain Stockgrowers at the 2007 Montana Stockgrowers Annual Convention held in Billings last December. "Mother Nature makes no provisions for the blood, sweat and tears farmers and ranchers put into keeping an outfit together," said Casey. "When nature's devastation hits, it can wipe that operation out completely. That's where the Giving Back Foundation can help. We don't want anyone leaving agriculture due to a natural disaster. The Giving Back Foundation has also contributed to several animal science college scholarship funds in Idaho, Washington and Montana to help students going into an ag-related field. Funding for the Giving Back Foundation is generated from the sales of a 2-disc CD that includes tracks donated by western poets and musicians including T.J. Casey, R. W. Hampton, Rusty Feathers, Kail Mantle, Ken Overcast, Ringling 5, Open Range, Sisters of the Silver Sage and several other artists. The CD is available for $24.95 from www.ranchersandfarmers.org or by calling 406-442-3420. The Giving Back Foundation is a nationwide effort to assist ranchers and farmers who have been affected by the ravages of Mother Nature. You can help today by sending your tax-deductible contribution to GBF, 420 N California, Helena, MT 59601. Your gift will directly support keeping families in agriculture.
