Be Love and Do Good Work

Planting seeds bear many fruit.

A few updates from us to you.
You might want to sit down for this.
We are pleased to announce our partnership with Pasadena Non-Profit, Light Bringer Project! Which means, Yes! You can now make a  tax deductible donation.
Light Bringer Project is a nonprofit, Pasadena-based arts organization founded in 1990 by residents who were exploring the historic contributions that artists, architects and craftsmen made to the local environment. Inspired by these achievements, its founders imagined ways to bring more of today’s artists and their creative resources into the mainstream of community life. Today, the organization is widely known for its arts and educational programs provided to underserved youth in the greater Pasadena and Los Angeles area Jirayr Zorthian and the Zorthian Ranch had a long standing relationship with Light Bringer by participating in the annual DooDah parade, hosting DooDah tryouts at the ranch and artistically infusing and supporting the organization. We are so grateful for our partnership with Light Bringer Project and especially excited because this is a huge step for us in beginning the process of becoming a non profit and receiving funding from grants for the cultural events and work we do.
Which means Yes. You can now officially donate to the Zorthian Ranch (AND receive a “March of the Animals” bumper sticker when you make a donation of $20 or more as a thank you!)
