It is finally here everyone…Our very first fundraising adventure. Over the past few weeks you have heard me talking about our efforts. What we will be doing is picking an animal charity each month and donate all of our ad revenue and 10% of every sale to them. We had a great response in submitting potential groups but we had the most chatter from one very lucky group. I am not super surprised that this first month will come from a place in my very own home town since I spend most of my time networking here. I wanted to be fair and really show the one that had the most submissions.
Without further jibber jabber from me explaining what the goal is(DUH raise money) let me just let everyone know who it is and how you can help.
The fundraising focus for the month of August will be helping support Sophie’s Circle in Port Orange, FL.
Please check out their website to get to know them and see what they do on a daily basis to help support the animals. What got me and I think a lot of people are that they manage the only pet food bank in Volusia County. With that responsibly also comes great challenges. As of this post they have over 500 families registered for assistance. That equals out to 579 dogs and 810 cats.
WHOA!! Can you see the need?
They ask for donations in the form of dry or canned food or of course monetary donations. (That’s were we are going to come in people!) But if you can imagine stocking one food bank.. what about two? With the need always increasing they are set to open another one just to help out even MORE animals. While the donated food is a huge help.. they tend to buy pallets just to keep up with the demand.
I have talked to the fine folks at Sophie’s Circle and they are very excited and are grateful for the support of the community close by and all over the world. Let’s make the most of the month and help out as much as we can.
There are two ways you can help.
1. See the ads on this site and on the store site? By clicking on the ad links (if you’re new to blogging lingo) the owner of the sites gets a few kickbacks. It’s not a lot but every little bit helps so if you can’t afford to donate at this time(hey..that’s ok) you can click for free and still know that you will be helping the animals at Sophie’s Circle
2. Every time you or someone you refer shop and they buy something 10% of the entire order will be going to Sophie’s circle.
Have questions? Let me know. Our mission this month is to help out the food bank and we can all feel good a few pups and kitties will have a healthy meals and snooze happy dreams with full bellys.
One last piece of business…My site will be undergoing some major changes ( for the better) over the next few days. If for whatever reason the blog or the shop site does not come up right away.. please do check back…All for the greater good right? MyUberPet.com will be the new site to log into and everything will be right there. YEAHH! No need to go to two different sites. As they say two will become one:)
Have a great week.
