Hello! Suzanne and I have been friends since we met at our local vegan Meetup group in 2008. Since then, we have worked together for the cause of the animals and spreading the vegan lifestyle, even having our first very successful Fargo Moorhead VegFest , with our second one happening this fall! We are attending the conference to not only further advance our knowledge, but to recruit exhibitors to our upcoming vegfest!

We are raising money to get to the Animal Rights National Conference in Los Angeles in July. Airfare will be about $1000 combined, and the conference itself will be about $700 combined. Suzanne is hoping to share a room with other activists to help keep that cost down, and Kathleen already has a room in exchange for volunteering with a group. We'll split the funds raised as needed. If we get more than needed, we'll donate it back to our vegfest fund.

To be able to attend the Animal Rights National Conference has been a dream of ours for years, and now it's finally happening with your help!

We are so grateful for those who are already supporting us. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.


This was at the local college homecoming parade, where we promoted our vegfest, which was the next day!
