Come, enjoy a Saturday with friends, neighbors, and other pet lovers from our community while promoting the good works of Paws4Ever in a day filled with games, music, demonstrations and a 2 mile walk around beautiful Southern Village.

Activities Pre-Event DayKids4Paws is a new contest for 2010. We want to give kids a chance to show how much they care about animals and animal welfare by doing a little fundraising kid style. See the attached flyer for ideas.
It’s hard for the young ones to compete against adults, so this is all about kids, all for dogs, and all in good fun! You can use the Flyer attached above to advertise your Kids4Paws event in your neighborhood.
We’d love to see pictures of what you’re doing! Send them and a brief paragraph about the kids and their love of animals to walkforanimals2007@yahoo.com . We’ll try to post them in our emailers to support their efforts!
You can contact DeWana at walkforanimals2007@yahoo.com for more details.
There will be a great prize for the kid(s) that raise the most donations!
Vets4Paws is a new contest for 2010. We want to give our supporting animal hospitals and their patrons a chance to work together to save lives. See the attached flyer for fundraising ideas.
Animal people are always looking for ways to help homeless pets. Now you can work with your staff, friends and clients to raise donations together. It’s a great way to bond with your neighborhood and work towards a great cause- pets in desperate need of care, training and families.
Use the Flyer above to promote the campaign in your hospital and to advertise your work in your neighborhood. We’ve attached a few ideas to get you started, but be creative.
Contact DeWana at walkforanimals2007@yahoo.com to let us know your hospital is in the competition and if you send a picture and paragraph about your fundraising, we’d love to use them to promote the campaign on our emailers and website.
