| FarmHouse Rodeo Classic Big Success |
FarmHouse hosted its first philanthropy rodeo on September 22, 2006. Eleven fraternity and twenty one sorority teams competed in a variety of events throughout the evening. Following the event, country music star Charlie Robison performed with Auburn alum Corey Sellers. The event raised over $43,000 to benefit the chapter's official philanthropy, Storybook Farm. Event coordinator Steven Bobo along with other rodeo assistants Blake Busbin and Robert Cunningham presented the check to Storybook after the first quarter of the Auburn-Tulane game on Homecoming Weekend.

| StoryBook Farm |
Located in the rich pastures of Opelika, Alabama, Storybook Farm, Inc. offers spiritual nourishment and emotional healing to children with disabilities, life-threatening diseases, or those who have suffered a loss. Storybook Farm provides Hope on Horseback for our riders through a unique program of therapeutic horseback riding and creative activity.
While enrolled in Hope on Horseback, kids learn riding skills, safety rules, and horse care. Children who are too sick to ride are engaged in other innovative activities and are invited to groom, pet, and feed the horses. Our horses and ponies, chosen for their gentle temperaments, are named after storybook characters like Oliver Twist and Huckleberry Finn.
Children participate at no cost to their families, thanks to private and corporate donors as well as grants. Here at Storybook Farm, children and their families are able to create new support systems and friendships without the veil of illness.
