I Am For Animals Fundraiser – Saturday August 6, 2016
I Am For Animals Fundraiser – Saturday August 6, 2016 – People often throw up their hands and say ‘someone should do something’ for animals in need. They fail to realize that every positive action, large or small matters. Anastasia and Allison are two women – ‘who don’t say – they do’. They are organizing a fundraiser to support Ralphy’s Retreat – a sanctuary for Pot-Bellied Pigs & Farm Animals and The Shelburne Feral Cat Rescue.
Fundraisers don’t happen in a vacuum – Anastasia and Allison need your help. As Anastasia said, “We are in need of vendors. We need food, baked goods and anything crafty – all vegan – no leather please”. Let’s get busy and support these two amazing animal activists. You can attend the event, make a cash donation, contribute to the wish list of needed charity items, offer to help and share this post with family and friends. Everyone can do something for animals. It makes you a better person!
You don’t have to be a business owner – we just need your vegan love – and your willingness to make a donation from the proceeds you raise. It’s free for any interested Vendor. If this is right for you, please be in touch and I will happily provide you with all the details”.
