🚨 Mark your calendars & save the date! 🚨

From June 4th at 7PM through June 5th at 7PM, our community will come together for 24 hours of giving to support over 250 local nonprofits — and the ACA kitties will be part of it once again. 🐾

Last year, YOU helped us raise an incredible $6,728.
This year, our goal is even bigger: 🎯 $13,500

💥 PLUS — we already have an anonymous $5,000 matching donor committed to helping us get there!

Why is NEPA Gives such an important time to give?
Because donations during the event can help unlock BONUS funds, prizes, and incentives awarded throughout the 24 hours — meaning your support could go even further for the cats in our care. ❤️

So mark those calendars, spread the word, and get ready… because we have a LOT planned over the next month. 👀
