As we look back at our 49th year at the Arkansas Sheriffs’ Youth Ranches, we are grateful for YOU! Here are some ways you helped us accomplish BIG things in 2025.
In May, we gathered with some of our closest friends and supporters and celebrated a ribbon cutting for our newest home, Beebe Hall! After years of planning, fundraising, and a year of building, this new home was a long time in the making and a welcome sight to behold.
And because the need for this new home was so great, Beebe Hall welcomed a whole housefull of new Ranchers within weeks.
And because the need for additional beds continues to be great, in September, we announced an extraordinary gift by the Raney family of Ozark, Arkansas, who donated the funds to build ANOTHER new home at the Ranch!
This generous donation will help ASYR continue providing hope, healing, and a place for Arkansas children in crisis to call home for generations to come.
In September, construction began quickly on Raney Hall to fulfill the Raney Family’s wish to see the home built in their lifetime. Construction has moved steadily since, and as of today, we are “in the dry!”
As we embark on 2026, ASYR’s 50th year of service, we are excited to celebrate our 50th Anniversary with the opening of the new Raney Hall!
Be on the lookout for news of a ribbon cutting, special events, and other fun surprises in the new year as we celebrate Arkansas Sheriffs’ Youth Ranches’ 50th Anniversary all year long!
But none of this work would be possible without the ongoing support of our mission from friends like YOU.
Because ASYR is 100% privately funded and a 100% free service to children in crisis, we rely on charitable gifts to provide safe, loving homes–and so much more–for our children throughout the year.
