this is it…

i’ve posted several times about a cause i think is so amazing – "a place to bark".  there is a contest going on to provide additional grant money and you can help!  if you haven’t taken the time to donate – PLEASE DO IT TODAY!  the contest ends tomorrow at 3pmEST.  many of you have already stepped up to help out and i truly appreciate it, and i know some of you think that $10 won’t make a difference – but it will!  remember it’s all about the number of DIFFERENT PEOPLE who donate, not the number of times or amount.  $10 can make a huge difference, so please ask everyone you know – your co-workers, your neighbors, your kids, whoever, we need as many different people to donate as possible – that’s how this contest works.  i know we can all come together and make a difference for these animals.  my blog gets over 8000 hits a day – so if everyone who views this, just donates $10 we will win this thing for bernie and her animals.  i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again – we get what we give in life.

Canvasmosaic_2 please help if you can, and remember you can also win this!  i’ve decided to pay it forward and give up something i’ve been keeping for myself.  it’s this distressed canvas mosaic.  it’s an art piece composed of (9) individual 4×4 chunky canvas squares.  you can hang these on a wall with or without spaces in between them as these are not connected or you can stack them up on a shelf.  this is a very special piece to me – i created it for a ranger project last year for our CHA booth it’s one of my favorite art pieces.  i’ve decided to give it away to a lucky winner for doing something good.  all you have to do to enter is make a $10 donation by following the information below – think of it as a raffle ticket with the benefit of doing something good.  every time you make a $10 donation, you’ll get your name entered into the drawing.  you can enter/donate as many times as you want to!  the drawing will be held on February 2nd. *IMPORTANT: when making your donation, please be sure to include your contact information and then enter the name "cooper" on the line that says "dedication or gift" this will enter you into the drawing. here’s more information:

How It Works:
The four charity badges with the most unique donations through America’s Giving Challenge will get $50,000 for their cause.

Donate:
If you are able donate , please donate via the badge a $10 tax deductible donation. We need the most people possible to each donate $10 to A Place to Bark. In order to win the grant we need to have the most amount of donors, not necessarily the amount of money donated.
