The first capital campaign launched by the Angus Foundation, Vision of Value: Campaign for Angus, aims to preserve our rich
Angus heritage for future generations. Through this fundraising effort, every Angus breeder, friend and allied industry
interest will benefit - educational programs will grow, youth opportunities will expand and research will advance.
The Vision of Value: Campaign for Angus aims to raise $11 million by December 31, 2011, with funding goals of $3.5 million
for
education,
$6 million for
youth,
and $1.5 million for
research.
“When you get down to it, what we’re trying to do with this campaign is make a difference in peoples’ lives,” says Milford
Jenkins, Angus Foundation president. “Educational programs for producers, youth activities for the next generation of Angus
leaders and valuable information from scientific research – these are the tools we need to continue our prominence in the
beef cattle industry, and the campaign will provide us with the funding needed to achieve this goal.”
The Vision of Value: Campaign for Angus is led by the Campaign Leadership Cabinet chaired by Howard Hillman of Bon View
Farms in S.D. and co-chaired by Jim Coleman of Vintage Angus Ranch in CA and David McMahon of Belle Point Ranch in AR. Other
members of the campaign leadership cabinet include: Dick Beck, Three Trees Ranch in Georgia; Klaus Birkel, Camp Cooley Ranch
