Wal-a-thon!

Drum roll please?. The 2008 Animatch Walk-a-Thon is upon us! Now is the time to start gathering pledges for this key annual fundraiser. The walk will take place on May 17 at Centennial Park in DDO. It will be a fun-filled day for two and four legged friends of Animatch with breakfast, lunch, contests, booths and of course, your choice of a 3 or 6 km walk! Go to the Animatch web site to download your pledge form. Hope to see you there!
FUND RAISING TIPS
Set a Personal Goal
Just consider what you would like to do: $120 pays for an average dog sterilization, $50 will cover the cost of a good quality bag of food for a month for a medium sized dog, $50 pays for a vet exam & basic vaccinations. $30 pays for de-worming & flea prevention. There is no minimum or maximum required. Be ambitious-ask your family, friends, and especially your local stores to help you achieve your goal in supporting this great cause.
Email everyone you know.
Quicker than a phone call and more far-reaching. Include a picture of yourself and your pooch or add a link to the Animatch website (www.animatch.ca) so everyone can see what you are fundraising for.
One a day
Ask one person each day to make a contribution. If you get four $25 gifts, you will have $100 in less than a week! Don?t be afraid to ask for larger gifts-most people are happy to donate to a good cause.
Tax Advantages
Remind people that donations of $20 or more will qualify them for a tax receipt.
