ALL ROYALTIES GO DIRECTLY TO CROSSWINDS EQUINE RESCUE, INC TO HELP THE HORSES!

OTHER WAYS MODELERS HELP THE HORSES:

Modelers all over the US are sending RC items to Crosswinds to help the horses. The items are refurbished (if needed) and sold via eBay or other means, with the proceeds going directly to Crosswinds' operating funds. Donations may be tax deductible! Everything from older engines to no-longer-needed tools, from kits that no longer fit the modeler's interests to chargers that have been replaced are helping us to help the horses!

To see the items currently listed on eBay, please click here.

Crosswinds makes R/C Report! R/C Report's December 2003, page 20, includes a great picture of Mike, Tory and Laddie, as well as our "Reader's Write" letter. The donations from modelers as a direct result of that letter, as of 12/24/03, have been sufficient to purchase enough hay to hold the current 12 horses through the end of FEBRUARY! THANKS RCR, and its readers, for your kindness!

For more information on how you can donate, please visit our donations page or contact us.
