Heifer High Tea - A Celebration of Congregations

On Saturday, Feb.28th, Heifer International will be hosting a Heifer High Tea, a Celebration of Congregations at the La Verne Church of the Brethren in La Verne, CA at 3 pm. Jan West Schrock, daughter of Heifer founder Dan West, will speak about her father's commitment to peace and justice. Renowned vocalist Kate Schrock, Jan's daughter, will also perform songs inspired from her journeys around the world. This will be a wonderful family event where we celebrate and honor our amazing congregational supporters. See you there!

Critic's Choice Awards


Heifer International was honored to be selected as the Critic's Choice Awards Show Cause Partner for 2009. One of our biggest supporters, Diane Lane, hosted a wonderful after-party with Heifer International. At our party, we were able to introduce Heifer International to many celebrities and influential people in the entertainment industry. Richard Gere, another Heifer supporter, was gracious enough to spend a long time in the Heifer room, talking to various people about his commitment to humanitarian work. It was a fun, fast-paced event and we hope to be back next year! Thanks to everyone who helped make this event such a success.
