| WHAT WE ARE ABOUT |
| Cal Farley's Boys Ranch Alumni Association (CFBRAA) is an association of former Ranchers chartered for the purpose of continuing the work that Cal & Mimi Farley began. Boys Ranch (BR) was our home; not just our school or fraternity. Most of us did not have much of a home when we went to BR. When we left we still needed family support. The Association seeks to be the family to former Ranchers that BR was to us. |
| The mission of CFBRAA is to be a network of fellow Ranchers that supports one another. We maintain and build family ties by holding family reunions. We raise funds to help our brothers and sisters with special needs in times of crisis. We seek to provide scholarships for family members of fellow ex-Ranchers. And we seek to give back to Cal Farley's Inc., in appreciation for what we have received. |
| CFBRAA was first organized in 1967 and was chartered as a 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization in 1972. All contributions are used for the mission of the Association and are tax-deductible. |

| HOW ARE WE DOING? |
|
How is the Association achieving its mission objectives:
|
| Family Reunions: |
| Over 130 former Ranchers and our families from the DFW area gathered at the fourth annual "Dallas Gathering." The DFW chapter again met in May at the Woodhaven Country club or a golf and supper outing. |
| The largest annual family reunion will be held in Amarillo on September 4 - 6. See Details |
| Scholarships: |
| Fifteen family members of former Ranchers have received Scholarships in the past couple of years. Currently there are 10 family members receiving scholarships valued at $2,000 each. |
| Special Needs: |
| Over the past year we have been able to help over 20 fellow Ranchers with needs ranging from medical assistance to Christmas presents, from rent and utilities to burial expenses. We never identify the recipients of Special Needs funds, and the amount available is very limited. All receipts for the Silent Auction this year will go to fund Special Needs. |
| Supporting Cal Farley's |
| We were able to present to Cal Farley's a check for $2,500 this year at the Dallas Gathering. The funds were to help with the costs associated with the 70th anniversary events being held all over the country. |
