The wonderful Earth Angel fundraiser is officially over BUT we will always gladly accept donations to be added to the Feliz Navidad fund for our medical needs. We've had 2 awesome weeks of fundraising with you folks! I can now pay off our 2 major medical bills and do it with a great big smile! We've shared lots of stories about past and present medically needed cats and kittens thru storytime, the blog and facebook. As you know, there will always be more coming in the door and we will continue to do what we can to help them. A "thank you" sounds too simple and not grateful enough, but please know from the bottom of my heart how utterly grateful I am for this fundraiser, made possible by YOU! You viewers, volunteers and visitors never ever cease to amaze me with your kindness and compassion. You are indeed Angels to this Rescue Center!
Here's our total that we had at Boxes last night: $24,500!!!!! We had (with help from the cat's iPad) whistles, applause, ka-ching and a drumroll! Then we had lots of confetti (which we then had to clean up right away!). What a fun way of ending our fundraiser!
