The
DENTON FFA Alumni Association has taken on the challenge
of raising the funds necessary to provide the animal
stalls and equipment that will go into the new AG BARN.
Donations for this project are being accepted through the
AG-ED LEGACY Program.
Individual animal stall costs are projected at $500 per
stall. Stall
AG-ED LEGACY CONTRIBUTIONS are tax-deductible contributions
to the
Stall Sponsor.
