There are many easy ways to raise money for the puppies and the kitties.
1. Create your own fundraising page. Post your link on Facebook and tag your friends who love animals. Don't be afraid to ask! People are very busy and want to support you so give them a little nudge.
2. Email your family and let them know that you are on a mission to raise money for the Auburn Valley Humane Society. Ask them to support you!
3. Ask your neighbors. Use your pledge form to collect cash and check donations. Checks may be made out to AVHS.
4. Ask your co-workers!
5. Throw a wine or beer party and invite your friends for wine, bunco, cards or a movie. Provide some treats and ask for a suggested donation of $25 each.
6. Ask your boss to have a one-time "Bring your pets to workday." Anyone who brings their pet contributes $25 to the the office team. Everyone wins! Your pet makes everyone happy at the office and your officemates are more productive on that day!
7. Shake your co-workers for pocket change. Everyone has spare change so have them the coins into a jar for the AVHS puppies and kitties.
