Eddie Staub breaking ground with members of the Kiwanis Club. GROUNDBREAKING SUPPORT Share your From volunteering for projects to providing mission-critical items from our needs list, many Eagle Ranch supporters like to be a hands-on part of our mission. Long-time Eagle Ranch supporter Austin Edmondson shares his recollection of getting involved with Eagle Ranch from the ground up. “Eddie gave a talk to the Kiwanis Club in the early 1980s when the Ranch was just a dream, and I was enthralled with what he had to say, so he asked me if I would be on the Board. And that's the last thing I needed to do. But this particular day that he asked me, my basketball team had won the NCAA championship, it was my birthday, and God sent the message – just through Eddie Staub. So, I said ‘alright.’ And I had never seen a miracle, I mean a miracle, but I told him, ‘If you pull this thing off, it's a miracle.’ Eagle Ranch story! Email our Communications team at story@eagleranch.org "Eddie showed me his plans, and I had some doubts, but he put it all together, made it work and got the money he needed. And if you look at the book, On Eagle's Wings, about the Ranch’s founding, there’s a picture of about seven or eight Kiwanians about to mark the foundation for the first building where Eddie was going to live and have an office. I'm right there in the middle of the action, digging in the dirt."
