Amanda and I started our school club F.L.A ( for the love of animals) last year, and since then, the club has tremendously grown. We are aware of so many animals and organizations that desperately need assistance, that we've decided to take our fundraising a step further than other clubs, and raise money off campus as well. The effort was well worth it as we've been able to interact and assist more animals in need.
In the beginning of November we had a bake sale in front of Adam's Pet Store in Chester to benefit the PUFF cat adoption rescue. We made $250 within 3 hours! Our on campus fundraiser bake sale was held a week later. We managed to raise $186 for Rudy, a Hendrick's Board Rescue dog. Rudy was an extremely abused dog (NYC police have started a criminal investigation to apprehend his abuser). He was beaten and starved until he could no longer stand. Our raised funds are going towards his medical bills and helping Rudy get back on his feet. To further break away from the consistent fundraising method of bake sales, we are launching our own 100% essential, all natural perfumes and selling to both Gill students and the public.
IN addition to fundraising, we volunteer at shelters. Today we scheduled a visit to the Lakota Wolf Preserve to assist them with keeping up the wolf habitats during the winter months. In September we visited and helped clean at Raptor Trust.
