Longhorn Auction Benefits Wounded Veterans

The Texas Sentinels Foundations wishes to express our profound gratitude and thankfulness to Bill and Elizabeth Hudson, Hudson Longhorns, who donated Casanova’s Ginger at the Fort Worth Stockyards Longhorn Auction to benefit the numerous combat wounded veterans of The Texas Sentinels Foundation. More than $42,000 was raised to help build new lives for our combat wounded military veterans in the state of Texas.

“Some people just throw a yellow ribbon bumper sticker on their car, others, like the Hudson’s, go way above and beyond that and put meaningful actions behind their words. To say they are a blessing would be an understatement. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Hudson and all those that made bids for your incredible generosity that’ll no doubt lead to changed lives.” commented Marine SSGT Charles Lauersdorf.

Thank you to the following bidders and supporters of the charity auction:
Bill and Judy Meridith 
Dan and Tracy Jones
Suzanne and Bill Torkildser
Debbie Bowman
Bill and Elizabeth Hudson
Austin and Taylor Rohr
Ursula Allen
Nancy Ince
Charlene Semkin
Richard and Jeanne Filip

We Salute You!
