Our proud supporters make us feel so fortunate every day, and we appreciate their efforts, which raise thousands of dollars every year for the pets in our care!
If you’re interested in starting a team, visit DoggieDashAndDawdle.org to register – it’s easy! We’ve also collected a few suggestions on how to reach your team fundraising goals:
• Once registered online, Team Captains can log in and create a special team web page. Here, you can set a team fundraising goal that you share with friends, family and co-workers.
• Encourage team members to create their own personal Doggie Dash webpages and share them with their friends and family. You can upload photos or video, and customize the message shown on the page to explain why you are fundraising for Doggie Dash! One of our team members shares a little about her pets, and how important Animal Humane is to her. Another fundraiser made it to $10,000 last year, and is incredibly inspiring!
• Design a commemorative company T-Shirt for your team members.
• Encourage friendly competition with another team or among team members.
• Display a Doggie Dash poster or Doggie Dash Team poster at your work, gym, college or church. (Download our PDF online!)
• Sponsor a donation jar in high traffic areas at work.
• Include a tag line on your emails to promote your participation in Doggie Dash & Dawdle, with a link to your personal page or team webpage.
• Learn if your company has a matching gifts program and ask if they’ll match your team’s pledge.
• Use the power of your team to collect donations.
• Host a bake sale, dog wash, dog park social or garage sale.
• Host a movie night or a cheese tasting party, and request donations.
Most importantly, be creative — we love to see your ideas!
