hour of Love
|
May 1 - May 2, 2020
Location: Virtual! WE'RE EXCITED TO SHARE... Hour of Love is back, and it has huge, life-saving potential written all over it! On May 1 & 2, HEA's tail-wagging, thunderous-purring, love-filled fundraiser returns. We’re looking for individuals, groups, and families of all sizes to participate (virtually). We're asking for just an hour of your time, but because the event is virtual, you can give as much or as little time as you'd like! Your heart is sure to go pitter-patter when you offer to help during this high-impact event! |

HOW IT WORKS:
We had originally planned to have participants sign up for hour-long, in-person shifts to give endless love to the dogs and cats in our care. Things are coming together differently than we had planned, but we're confident you're going to love the new approach - Hour of Love is going virtual!
The ways you can participate just became limitless. We'll be offering several fun options for participants to engage. Plus, we're beyond excited to see what creative ways our supporters dream up to show off their love for dogs and cats in need!
We'll provide a participant toolkit and a very easy-to-use online fundraising platform, and you'll be all set to do what you do best:

WHY AN HOUR MATTERS
In the world of companion animal welfare, the value of an hour is significant. The time you share could literally be the difference between life and death for animals awaiting HEA’s help. SHARE AN HOUR. SAVE A LIFE.
WANT TO HELP, BUT...
You're not on social media? You're not super tech savvy? That's okay - we understand! We believe you can still help! Would any of these ideas work?
You're not on social media? You're not super tech savvy? That's okay - we understand! We believe you can still help! Would any of these ideas work?
- Talk to your friends and neighbors (from at least 6 feet away!) - encourage them to participate!
- Grab the phone and dial up the pet lovers in your life - one phone call goes a long way!
- For example, if each of our unique donors from last year's Hour of Love called even just one friend and asked them to donate $10, we'd raise an additional $5,000 for the animals at HEA. That $5,000 would then become $10,000 thanks to the generosity of our matching-funds donor.
- Donate to our campaign on event day. Any amount helps, and every dollar raised will go further thanks to the $30,000 in matching funds from Dick & Sharon Resch.
- If you know someone who would find joy in participating, send them our way!
