🧡We’re POOPED!🧡
But our hearts are so so full. We made $935 in donations today, thanks to the 184 visitors, supporters and friends who showed up to support the animals!
First of all, thank you to our sponsors. Anytime Fitness Waterville, Pondview Vet Clinic, Neapolis Market and Anthony Wayne Community Chiropractic for their support to make this day enjoyable to the kids.
Thank you to Lindsay for volunteering to Face Paint. It couldn’t have been a better surprise to have you offer. The kids LOVED IT! To Varsana for manning Kids Zone last minute, and to Anne for working our ADA Shuttle! People complimented your friendly nature! Thank you Jared for helping relieve our volunteers during breaks even though you were just here to hang out. To Tony and Leigh for their continued dedication over the years, Tony- being lord of the yellow jackets is a hard job and you handled it with grace. And to Marian, Karam, Nova & Becky, Paige, Angie, Jonah, Mahlea, and most of all, Janice. Janice won’t see this, but she’s poured two days of back breaking work into this organization. She showed up for setup on Friday, came Saturday early for setup, worked all day and stayed late to break down. She’s my hero right now. Thank you Jase and Hudson for helping in every way even when I’m stressed and crabby, to Patty (Mom) and Abbi for the food, and the amazing door prizes. I couldn’t be more grateful. This list is not in any order, simply as it comes to mind during my mental replay of events. So many people LOVED the food. It takes a BIG team and this team shines bright!
Thank you to the Vendors who made a priority to show up, Nicole, Karen, Joci and Abbi!
Most of all, Thank You to EVERY SINGLE VISITOR that came, ate and supported our Sanctuary. We love connecting with you all, sharing the stories of our residents and showing what compassion is all about.
We truly appreciate everything that every person has done for this org, past, present and those to come. Every act of kindness is never forgotten.
Thank you,
Elle Cox - Director and Founder
