Last year, a friend of mine lost his beloved dog to the canine equivalent of ALS, that many of you are hearing about. I wanted to help ease his pain and asked him to select a fave pet charity for donations to be made in honor of his dog, "Jasper," better known as "Jazzy."
My friend Eric selected Wags4Kids, an fantastic organization that provides service animals to disabled children in Cleveland, Ohio. We far exceeded out goal, with the final results being just over $5,500! We did so well in fact that a permanent fund has been set up, as you will see in the top of this page link, "Jazzy's Health Fund." 100% of donations received (minus any PayPal fees, if you select that op) will go to providing health care to service dogs in training. It can take up to two years to train a service animal, and health care is among the highest of these costs.
http://www.wags4kids.orgDonations can be made year round to the above link. However, in the next few weeks, we will be starting our 2nd annual fundraiser, an open event on FB. Think our blessings will be continued in that we have not officially started the new event, and have already reached over $1000! Can I hear an Amen?
Our FB event link is:https://www.facebook.com/events/813957201970514/ Pay no attention to the start date of Nov. 1, we will be kicking off, quite likely in the next few weeks. Checks can also me mailed to Wags4Kids, please make sure you write check exactly that way and NOT Wags For Kids, okay. In the memo portion of the check, please write "Jazzy's Health Fund."
Thank you for your consideration and God Bless! Any questions, feel free to ask.
