Hi friends! Thank you for supporting me as I raise money in support of the Refuge. All of my favorite animals live there and it means the world to me that they are always able to live in peace and safety! Led by Team Captain Ponty, help Team Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge and take home the gold! Join as an athlete who raises money OR you can carry the torch as a donor. Either way, YOU are a champion for the animals! Be sure to spread the word to your friends, family and co-workers so they can get in on the fun! Everything you need to know about The Goat Games can be found here in the FAQs. We’re all in this together as a team! You can help encourage others by printing our team bib, posting on social media with the #TheGoatGames2022, and showing all the fun and creative ways that you’re going for the gold! Ponty came to us after being abandoned and trying to survive in a mobile home in rural North Carolina that was collapsing around him. Even though he is one of our tallest goats, he came to us over 40 pounds underweight, starving and scared with little trust for humans. Today, he is thriving at the Refuge -- he is the largest goat in his herd and is a favorite among Tour guests. The Refuge provides lifelong care to rescued farm animals, educates people about the realities of animal agriculture, and promotes veganism by offering knowledge, support, and community. Founded in 2012, the Refuge has been providing lifelong homes for rescued farm animals for 10 years and is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in central North Carolina. We are thrilled to participate in the 2022 Goat Games as we are currently raising funds for general use in support of our recent expansion and future animal rescues! At the beginning of 2021, we were presented with the exciting opportunity to purchase an adjacent lot that has more than doubled our size, from 20 to 45 acres! We have various projects planned for this new land, such as building a perimeter fence, removing and/or restoring the existing structures on the property and making the area suitable for rescued farmed animals. These funds will be vital to beginning these projects and ultimately, completing these goals. Ponty was severely malnourished and lived in a dilapidated shack in the woods before he was rescued. Your donations will also help support food and medical care for current and future animal residents, including new cow rescues! We currently spend over $6000/month on food and veterinary expenses alone for our chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, sheep and goats, so these contributions will also go a long way in helping us continue to provide lifelong homes for animals in need. Thank you so much for your contribution. Your support of our life-saving mission is vital. We are so grateful to have you with us on this journey to make the world a more loving and compassionate place for all beings! "Ponty's Journey"by Shannon Ducrest, Lead Animal Caregiver In an old trailer, Back in the woods, Ponty the goat did stay. Scared and alone, His tummy did groan, Hungrier every day. Until a nice man learned of his plight And took quick action to make things right You need a place with friends, safety, and food I know; Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge! About Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge provides lifelong care to rescued farm animals, educates people about the realities of animal agriculture, and promotes veganism by offering knowledge, support, and community. Founded in 2012, Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in North Carolina just 15 minutes away from the downtowns of Carrboro, Saxapahaw, and Pittsboro and 20 minutes away from downtown Chapel Hill. Our vision is to live in a world where the need for farmed animal rescue, education about the factory farm industry, and promotion of a vegan lifestyle are no longer necessary because the world is vegan and the exploitation of animals for consumption has ended.

If you know me, you know I have a "thing" for animals and vegan food which is why I’m taking part in the virtual fundraiser, 2022 Goat Games, from Friday, August 12th through Monday, August 15th to help rescued farmed animals! I'm raising money for my favorite sanctuary and if you've ever seen one of my videos, taken my cooking classes, made one of my recipes, or just love animals, I’m asking for your support. While this all sounds like fun and games, the work that sanctuaries do to rescue and care for animals who have never known a moment of kindness is difficult, expensive, and important.

Hello friends! I am participating in the Goat Games this year to raise needed funds for River’s Wish Animal Sanctuary! Our team captain, Toby, is pictured above. You can read more about him below! Kit, Pete, and all the precious animals who call River’s Wish home mean so much to me. RW is a sanctuary for animals, but it has also been a place of sanctuary for me. I have made so many friendships, felt seen and loved in ways I never have before, and made so many deep, healing bonds with the animals there. My activity for the games will simply be “caring for people and animals.” I will volunteer at RW on Friday to start things off! On Saturday I will hangout with my best friend’s daughters, so she can have a much needed break! On Sunday and Monday I will care for my dog and my three rescue rabbits, who I adopted from River’s Wish! I’ll keep you updated by posting pictures to my social media account along the way! And I will look for other opportunities to help people and animals during the 4-day stretch. I hope you’ll consider sponsoring me as I try to raise needed funds for the care and feeding of the animals at River’s Wish! Thank you! Sending you so much love!!

Meet Team Captain Josie Mae aka “The Resilient.” Josie-Mae was born at a goat dairy farm. Due to an accident, her owner decided that she would never be "useful" there. That turned out to be just her luck! Josie-Mae and her mom, Willow, now live at Farm Sanctuary's New York shelter. Josie-Mae is a peppy and friendly goat, and her prosthetics help her explore and play to her heart’s delight! After a day of action, she loves spending some downtime cuddling with her mom.

Welcome to the 3rd Annual Goat Games - Friday, August 12 through Monday, August 15 - hosted by Catskill Animal Sanctuary and sponsored in part by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS). The Goat Games 2022 is YOUR chance to help rescued farmed animals across the country— by hiking, swimming, biking, kayaking, binge-watching Netflix, dancing or any activity of your choice– right where you live, work and play! In 2020, Catskill Animal Sanctuary created The Goat Games as a response to their urgent fundraising needs during COVID — and to give folks a taste of fun and athleticism in the wake of the canceled Olympics. The following year, they selected sanctuaries across the country to participate and the Games grew to a total of 10 teams, raising thousands of dollars to help save animals! This year, Catskill Animal Sanctuary is partnering with TWELVE other GFAS-certified farmed animal sanctuaries from coast to coast to increase awareness of all our life-saving work— and to have FUN! Simply pick a sanctuary, register as an athlete for their team, carry out your chosen activity, and ask your friends and family to donate to support you. Every dollar raised will go to saving lives and providing sanctuary for animals in need. It’s up to all of us to carry the torch and get the GOLD for farmed animals. Are you game? Everything you need to know about participating as an athlete on your favorite sanctuary’s team, or supporting a sanctuary as a donor, is right here in these FAQs.

Thank you for joining Team Indraloka! The sanctuary provides "heaven on earth" for farm animals that have nowhere else to turn. Our mission is to inform, inspire and empower the community, especially children, on ways in which we can better care for ourselves and the environment while helping animals in need. We advocate for a kind and compassionate lifestyle that protects animals, the earth, and our own health. By participating in the Goat Games you are helping not only the hundreds of rescued farm animals and all who love and care for them, but the thousands of humans who visit them every year! Through our innovative education programs, humans of all ages have the chance to embrace compassion and fall in love with animals like Franklin, our 2022 Goat Games Captain. Franklin was found alone on a busy highway on New Year's Eve. When he was brought to Indraloka, his complete terror of humans kept him on high alert. He wouldn't even lay down to sleep and shook with fright whenever anyone was close. He was weak, fighting pneumonia and a double eye infection that was so severe, it temporarily blinded him. But after just days in the care of our staff, surrounded by love and gentle hands, Franklin's fear lessened and then disappeared completely. Now, he spends his days with 2 new friends, Oreo and Oliver, running in the pastures and playing with no cares at all. His mischievous personality keeps us all on our toes but he loves hugs and snuggles from visitors. By joining Team Indraloka, you have the opportunity to help goats like Franklin and his many friends of all species. Here’s how it works: Register as an athlete for Team Indraloka and commit to run, walk, hike, bike, swim, or do an activity of your choice, anytime between Friday, August 12 through Monday, August 15, 2022. Share your support with friends and family to raise funds for Indraloka. Donate to Indraloka! You can make a general donation to our Goat Games page or find an athlete to support. Either way, you’re making a difference for Franklin and his friends. However you choose to support the Goat Games, please know that your generosity is deeply appreciated. Thank you for your commitment to the animals!
