The unnamed donors are donating $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of Sunshine’s killer.
The money will be added to significant funds already raised; Crime Stoppers offered a $5,000 reward, the family is giving $1,000, and another donor gave $4,000 contingent on an arrest and conviction.

A vet recently confirmed to the Brock family that Sunshine was shot and killed with a bow and arrow, according to Click2Houston.com.
Sadly, this is not the first time the family has suffered a loss like this; in December, another one of their horses, Sonny, was found dead on the ranch.
After Sunshine’s murder, the family says it will not be getting another horse.
