BOZEMAN, Mont. – Murdoch’s Ranch & Home Supply (Murdoch’s) is pleased to announce nearly doubling the amount of money they raised during their 2005 in-store paper sneaker campaign for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

Last year Murdoch’s raised $4,000.00 and committed to doing even more this year by challenging their employees to sell as many sneakers as possible. The challenge was a success and Murdoch’s was able to raise $7,887.00!

Through paper sneaker sales, JDRF has raised millions for diabetes research, one dollar at a time! Murdoch’s Ranch & Home Supply would like to thank their customers for their continued support of such a caring organization!

Juvenile diabetes affects more than 1.3 million people in this country. JDRF is an international organization dedicated to finding a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research.

Murdoch’s Ranch & Home Supply presented a check to JDRF on Tuesday, October 11, 2005 at their Bozeman store. Murdoch’s is a privately owned chain of 13 farm retail stores in four states. The company is committed to offering quality merchandise, exceptional service, and fair prices to its customers – not to mention always making them feel welcome.
