In addition to being our biggest awareness campaign of the year, this is also our biggest fundraising campaign of the year, last year raising almost $30,000 for our work with chained and penned dogs. $30,000? You can fundraise even if you're not going to live chained to the doghouse...join an online fundraising 'team' in your state, start your own fundraising page, and make it happen. Here's how i
t works: Go to Firstgiving (www.firstgiving.com/dogsdeservebetter), click on register for an event, give us your contact information, what state you live in, and where and when you plan to be chained. You will then be given the option to pick up our Chain Off Pak for $25 (Chain Off t-shirt, brochures, doorhangers, and bumper stickers) as well as create your fundraising page with Firstgiving. You then add your own picture and text, send us the link at [email protected], and start sending it out to your friends and co-workers for sponsorship! We will add your name and contact information to the website, as well as a link to your fundraising page to bring more people and up your totals. Next, start your plan...bring in more volunteers with you or go it alone, get your doghouse(s), collars, and chains, and you're all set. Make sure to release to the local media, letting them know how to contact you and when you will be doing your Chain Off.
