Sadie Award Ceremony Honoring Dan McKernan, Barn Sanctuary

Dan McKernan, Founder and President of Barn Sanctuary farm animal sanctuary will receive the Section's Sadie Award on June 23, at a ceremony at the sanctuary.

Dan was nominated by Section member Maggie Sadoff, who said: 

This remarkable young man quit his day job and transformed his family farm into a sanctuary to provide a forever home to abused, abandoned, and injured domesticated farm animals including cows, pigs, goats, etc. (similar to Sasha Farm, but much smaller operation). He recently traveled cross country to rescue a pig who suffered frostbite after being frozen to the side of a truck (Patricia the pig, unfortunately, didn't make it).  

The Sadie Award, created in 2001, recognizes exceptional efforts on behalf of animals from those not involved in the legal or legislative system. It comes with a $250 honorarium, which will be presented to Barn Sanctuary at the June 23 ceremony.
