The Hereford Season of Giving, hosted by HYFA and Hereford Research Foundation (HRF), is back and will be hosted Dec. 18-20. Three days in December will be dedicated to the next generation, as we continue to unwrap and match gifts made possible by donors of all sizes.
Encourage, recognize and reward the development of life skills and values in the next generation of leaders by providing education, scholarship and leadership opportunities for Hereford Youth.
HYFA supports the programs and activities that not only benefit the Hereford breed today but also helps establish the future of the Hereford breed for tomorrow’s youth. Thank you for your continued support of Hereford youth and research.
The Foundation 1 Campaign was initiated by Sierra Ranches, Modesto, Calif., with the intent that 1% of the proceeds of their fall production sale were donated to HYFA. Other farms, ranches and programs have joined the campaign over the years to continue this growth for the next generation. Learn about upcoming sales participating in the event and more information.
All proceeds from the Foundation 1 Store support the Hereford Youth Foundation of America. With pillars supporting scholarship, education, leadership and research the next generation will lead our industry with generous support from our sponsors.
These four pillars are the motivation behind all fundraising efforts, creating and developing growth in the next generation of Hereford breeders and cultivating leaders who will be instruments in next steps in research for the industry.
The partnership that HYFA and the National Hereford Women (NHW) has had throughout the years continues to make opportunities possible for junior Hereford members. The NHW helps support contests at the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), as well as scholarships throughout the year, and recently launched a program providing travel scholarships to attendees of the Faces of Leadership conference.
Jerry and Maryann Huth, Huth Polled Herefords have been passionate about the Hereford breed and advocates for the American Hereford Association for 62 years. Jerry has been an integral part of the Hereford Research Foundation (HRF) board. Huth says his passion truly lays within research and the growth of not only the Hereford breed, but the beef industry as a whole. This year he chose to support the Research pillar of HYFA through a $10,000 gift and he encourages you to join the cause as we work to double the impact for the Hereford Research Foundation.
Every investment today is a step towards a brighter tomorrow for Hereford youth and the breed. No gift is too small, coming together as a Hereford family will continue to set our breed and the future up for success🌟
