Raise those bid numbers high and proud (erm, click often and with courage), and remember that every dollar makes a real difference in building a new Yummy Tummy Cafe for Ekone Ranch.
Why do we need a new kitchen? Glad you asked! Rattlesnakes, frogs, skunks, and ten other reasons!
Want to just straight-up donate instead? Your donation will be doubled! A dedicated donor has pledged to match all UnBarbed donations up to $10,000!
Plus, your donation will really truly help us make the case for a $250,000 grant...how's that for a multiplier??

And we Zoomed!
It was the best Zoom ever--with 36 Ekone-loving friends, connecting how we can around the values we share, with updates and stories from the ranch and lots of Q&A. We recorded it! Here's The Link if you'd like to join retroactively. It was fun, we'll do it again!
