ARF CHOSEN FOR PEPSI CHALLENGE
Pet lovers have an opportunity to raise $50,000 for the Animal Resource Foundation which has been taking care of homeless pets in our area for 10 years. Pepsi selects 1,000 ideas from people across the country each month that would make a positive impact on communities. ARF was fortunate enough to be chosen this month to be in the running for a $50,000 grant.
The need for ongoing funding is great and this grant opportunity would help with medical expenses, new kennels and supplies. ARF is hopeful that members of the community will support this cause by visiting the website refresheverything.com/secondchanceforhomelesspetsand voting for this project Voting can be done twice daily until October 31, 2010: once by computer, once by text message. Text 73774 and type in 103141. It costs nothing, although text messaging rates may apply. ARF needs to be in the top 10 at the end of the month in order to receive this grant.
ARF has received wonderful support from our community in the past. This summer the HVAC system failed and many folks donated portable air conditioning units, fans and labor to keep the animals cool during the unprecedented heat wave. Winter is now upon us and ARF will be moving to other quarters nearby with a functioning HVAC system. The animals must have heat to survive. For more information regarding ARF or to donate time or money please call 410-643-8700 or email at info@arfusa.org The homeless pets thank you!
