My Fundraising for Charity Challenge
Since I am an animal lover, I want to help the abandoned animals in my area. I am fundraising for charity to help the Loyalist Humane Society. The Loyalist Humane Society is located in Prince Edward County and is home to over 230 cats and kittens as well as a number of dogs in foster homes. They are funded solely by donations, sponsoring and fundraising for charity. A big part of their expenses go to caring for animals that have been brought in with severe injuries. They have a ' no kill ' policy, which means that no animals are ever put down unless it is absolutely the most humane thing to do. They are looking forward to erecting more safe ' outdoor ' areas for the cats, so that they can go outside and enjoy the sunshine. Have you ever wanted to do something really important? Something that could really help and have an impact long after you are gone. Something that could ' change my life ' forever. I do! I have my own goal. I want to make a difference and here is my commitment, my personal goal setting statement. On or before November 4, 2011, I will donate $30,000 ( thirty thousand dollars ) or more to the Loyalist Humane Society.
Don't forget that goals are dreams with deadlines! I’m not going to let someone else squash my dream! I believe that by working together, we can accomplish this goal. We can make sure the animals have a safe, warm and healthy winter. I was listening to the CD of Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill the other day. I heard an incredible reminder. It said (and I’m paraphrasing) that adding EMOTION to goals is what brings them to fruition. My heart is completely convinced that I will achieve my goal.
I went to visit the animals at the Loyalist Humane Society. I felt the emotion in their little faces. I know in my heart that I can accomplish a wonderful thing! If your heart is telling you that you’d like to help me achieve this fundraising for charity goal, please have a look at the events that I’ve scheduled below. It will be fun to watch my fundraising thermometer rise to the top! Provided byFundraising Ideas Center Klemmer & Associates teach that there are many ways to achieve the same goal. My head knows that my unique fundraising ideas will bring the desired results. I’ll ask people for help, and see where it goes. My heart believes that it could be made a LOT easier if one person would write me a big cheque for $30,000! Both ways will work! I’m learning the lesson of 'leverage'. I could ask 30,000 people for $1. But that wouldn’t be very efficient. I would be remiss if I didn’t say this. If you have a soft spot in your heart for animals and have an abundance of money, I would be most grateful if you would write a large cheque.
My heart has been cracked wide open by the generosity of my community. People are not only giving their money, they are offering their services. They are donating graphic design, professional printing, silent auction items and more. It truly is a beautiful thing!

Raffle Draw - to be drawn Oct. 21, 2011. Prizes include a one-night stay at the Ambassador Hotel, Kingston, one-night stay at the 4-Points Sheridan, Kingston, a $45 Gift certificate to the Little Organic Day Spa, Picton and a 1-hour Aromatherapy massage from The Serenity Spa at Caruso’s on King Bed and Breakfast Pledge Sheets - ongoing - I’m asking each person who takes a pledge sheet to commit to getting 10 or more people to donate AND collect $100 or more. That way, if the first person you ask gives you $100, then you still are committed to getting 9 or more people to donate! Animal shelters such as the Loyalist Humane Society need so much help. There are so many cats, kittens and dogs looking for good homes. The work of the volunteers that run these shelters is exhausting, never ending and done out of love for the animals. They are completely dependent on fundraising for charity donations. Also, if you have any contacts with corporations looking to donate money or supplies, I would appreciate your referral. Please help!
Let's work together to make my fundraising for charity project to help the Loyalist Humane Society a success. Please print this page and post it up at your work or business. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! Sincerely, Kathy
