[Dailydrool] Fundraising & Waddles

[Donna Funk]

I totally agree with Karen.  There have been numerous times I have done
fundraisers, donated my own money when times were better, offered prizes for
auctions, etc.  Having the offer of Zephyr being King of a Waddle would have
been a wonderful honor, but seeing the many hounds finding homes and getting the
medical treatment they need far exceeded that honor.  And remember, many of the
smaller rescues do not have a 'Waddle' and there is no King or Queen.  Just a
lot of houndies that need your help, no matter how 'small' you think it may be.

All the years that I raised funds for basset rescue, I took my trusty pledge
sheet around to family, friends, neighbors and  co-workers and asked for their
support.  I sent letters to folks who had supported us in the past, asking that
they do so again.  When it was time to hand in my pledge sheets, I added $$ from
my husband, myself, our cats & our bassets.  I tried to raise as much money as I
could, but never with the intention of raising money so that one of my hounds
would be Waddle King or Queen.  

 

It can be as simple as that.  No need to make something to sell or raffle.  And
as any rescue will tell you - they appreciate every dollar that you bring their
way.
