Let the Games Begin!

Ok, today I officially begin my fundraising for the Animal Humane Society Walk. Click the link (there is a link, apparently it doesn't appear visible - Animal Humane Society Walk is clickable, I will also add to the right had list below on my page.)and when you get to the Walk page, click on "Find a Participant" and look for Molly Schuster. I am racing a friend this year to see who can get to $500 the fastest. This is an increase in her goal so I actually hope she does really well, but I need a little friendly competition to get her there;) If you guys plan to donate anyway and don't want to be included in any future incentive stuff, please donate early to help me get to $500 fast!

Also, this year, understanding that the economy is a mess, I am reducing my goal to $1250, but I hope that I can shatter that goal. We'll have to see. If you have lost your job or might sometime soon, please don't feel like I'm trying to push you into donating! If you wanted to pass along the information to other people I would really appreciate it! I'm not taking people off the list this year because I don't want to forget anyone next year, but I know it's not going to be possible for some of my "regulars" to contribute this year, so I'm hoping to find some new "regulars" who can help! Here's a list of what your money can do:

$10,000 Funds an extraordinary rescue such as AHS’s efforts with Hurricane Ike and the Iowa floods in 2008.
$5,000 Helps fund a cruelty investigation and animal seizure.
$2,500 Allows us to purchase medical supplies and medications for 83 surgeries.
$1,000 Provides resources for AHS mobile services unit to provide needed surgeries at other rescue organizations in Minnesota.
$500 Helps 3 dogs through the Adoption Preparation program which readies shy or fearful dogs for adoption.
$300 Supports an AHS educational program in a Twin Cities school.
$250 Provides x-rays for two injured animals.
$100 Pays for a puppy or kitten to be spayed or neutered.
$50 Pays for full vaccinations for two homeless cat.

If we make our goal, we can help them accomplish a lot! Thank you so much for your help and as always I apologize in advance the the mass quantity of requests. I love animals, what can I say??
