Kerry Condo Quilts

This auction is for one-of-a-kind custom quilted crate pads that were handcrafted with love by Anita Schiller Terry. The beautiful images of Kerry Blue Terriers are from artists who have generously donated the rights for their design for this use. The auction will feature designs by Youlia Anderson, Melanie Feldges, and Donna Yuen.

All proceeds benefit the United States Kerry Blue Terrier Club Charitable Funds, Inc.

The United States Kerry Blue Terrier Club Charitable Funds, Inc. was established in September of 2002. The goal of the USKBTC Charitable Funds (a 501c3 charitable organization and therefore contributions are tax exempt) is to provide, in perpetuity, a safe, secure means for breeders, exhibitors, owners, and friends to contribute financial support for education, health and genetic research, and rescue efforts for Kerry Blue Terriers.

The Board of Directors of the Funds has established four funds directed to the betterment of the Kerry Blue Terrier. These funds are:

1)Rescue Fund – this fund supports grants used to provide Kerry Blue Terrier rescue services.

2)Health and Genetics Fund – this fund makes grants in support of research in areas of health and genetics of particular importance to the Kerry Blue Terrier.

3)Education Fund – the education fund supports education of all those interested in the Kerry Blue Terrier including publications, websites, and seminars.

4)General Fund – donations to this fund are used to support the work of the other funds through internal grants to those funds. Gifts that are no designated are placed in the General Fund to be used as needed to serve the breed.

In addition to the four permanent funds , two memorial funds have been established in memory of Kerry fanciers…one in memory of Hank Friscone and the Machaven Memorial Fund in memory of Dr. Roger Macha.
