Love Beer, Hate Cancer

The 3rd annual Love Beer, Hate Cancer is a benefit for Camp Enchantment. Camp Enchantment is a camp for children from all over the state of New Mexico with cancer, ages 7-17 years. Children on treatment for cancer or a history of cancer will descend upon Manzano Mountain Retreat for Camp Enchantment. The camp experience is invaluable for the children themselves and their families. It gives these children of New Mexico a much-needed return of their youth, and the program gives the families of these children a much-needed reprieve from the intense responsibility of caring for a child with cancer. It also provides leadership training and team building experience for our volunteers and CITs. In truth, this camp experience is invaluable for all involved. This family friendly event features face painters, camper’s testimonials, live screen printing, raffles and live music!

Thousands of lost, abandoned and stray animals are euthanized every year in New Mexico. When WMR was conceived a group of like-minded volunteers began to rescue and find homes for animals in Sandoval County and Albuquerque. Since that time, their rescue efforts have expanded to most of the counties throughout New Mexico as well as southern Texas and Juarez, Mexico. From its small beginnings to the present time, WMR has rescued and adopted out over 150,000 animals into loving homes. The dream has become a reality, and WMR is one of the premier not-for-profit facilities in the Southwest. The 10-acre facility has become New Mexico’s Largest No-Kill Animal Shelter.
