This is a CHALLENGE Fundraiser for BARC and LOC. The idea is to see how
much money we can raise for both organizations who are trying to education
the public about the dangers of puppy mills and to prevent poor quality
puppies from becoming part of the breeding pool. The information which
BARC has gathered from the auction puppies has provided valuable statistics
and information to use in the lobbying efforts of LOC. Partnering we can
make a difference! Here are the totals that we have raised for the
fundraiser so far:
BARC - $ 345.00
LOC - $ 295.00
Let's make these numbers GROW!!!
I have great news!!! I just got a photo of the painting that Willem
Wijnberg, from the Netherlands, did for our BARC LOC Challenge Fundraiser.
It is 10x14 inches and is based on a photograph of Fiona Gordo's puppy
girl, Eden, Gladsheim East O Eden, aged 7 weeks. It is item #79. I just
sent the photo to Karen Pickel to put on our website....so do check it
out!! Willem just sent me another note telling me that he is also
donating another painting to our fundraiser and is painting it now. This
painting is based on a photo of Dillon, the BARC Puppy that was loved and
cared for by Kelly Weir. It will be #83 for our fundraiser.
Don't forget that Marilynn and Star have donated 2 tickets to the next 28
people who buy tickets for our fundariser. Each person will receive 1BARC
tickets and 1 LOC ticket- so when you send in your donations, remember that
you get two more tickets to spend!
With 98 wonderful items to win, this is a very exciting fundraiser.
Remember.....the pre-Holiday drawing for the first 15 items will take place
on Thursday, December 12th, so you NEED TO SEND IN YOUR CHECKS RIGHT AWAY!!
If you are sending in checks for the pre-Holiday Drawing, please send me a
note telling me how much you are sending and how you want me to distribute
your tickets for this pre-Holiday drawing, so you can be included in the
drawing.
If you haven't checked out the prizes for this fundraiser, then you better
do it RIGHT NOW!! Thank you Karen Pickel, for doing such a great job on
