A
BOON AND A BLESSING
The total amount raised for 2008 was $7,700 down
by about $800 or 10% from 2007. The number of walkers was down by
30% but the amount raised by our top fundraisers almost doubled
over last year and this was key to minimizing the decrease. We believe
this drop in the number of walkers was due to people attending a
national charity walk which was held the same day. Although the
final tally was a disappointment, we are encouraged by the increase
in support from the business community and the great success of
those walkers who came this year. With over 20,000 homes with pets
in our county, and dozens of individuals and businesses who benefit
financially from our pets, we see great potential to grow the proceeds
by tens of thousands of dollars annually. The Walk-a-dog-a-thon
is our flagship event and the healthiest and most enjoyable way
for the community to support the operation of the shelter.
WINNERS
Although a few won top honors for their fundraising prowess, every
single walker is equally appreciated for their effort. By putting
their compassion in action, these wonderful individuals are all
heroes to the desperate dogs and cats in our community. All participants
are winners on Walk Day.
