About Us
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 $35 for a total of $560. 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… Wait, I think it might be illegal to buy 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.
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.

GOOSEBUMPS – lots of them! I just learned of your website this a.m. on canucks.com
What a creative, inspiring idea to support Bobby-Lou and the team and give to those who are so much tremendously less fortunate in this world.
Kudos to you and your group!
I’m off to buy a goat…

In the spirit of giving I have bought and dedicated to two of my friends goats in their honor! It’s win win win. I buy the goat, they name the goat, and you give the goat to a family!
