You are invited to Raise the Woof! Rooftop Party for a Cause

Below, we have created text for you to copy/paste and email to your friends so that you can easily invite them to our Raise the Woof! Rooftop Party for a Cause fundraiser. We really appreciate any and all networking you are willing to do. Thank you!

Dear Friend,

I would like to personally invite you to Raise the Woof! Rooftop Party for a Cause on August 26th, National Dog Day.

Tickets can be found here: https://givegrove.com/wooftop23/tickets/

This annual fundraising event means a lot to me because I have personally been involved in Colorado Pet Pantry. I have witnessed their pet food assistance program in action and the work that they do is vital to keeping our community pets in their homes and out of shelters. At this point in time, Colorado Pet Pantry is seeing record numbers for those who need help with pet food assistance. Animal shelters are maxed out, and pets need every chance possible to stay in their forever homes with the humans who love them. Colorado Pet Pantry has created such an efficient system, that they are able to feed a dog or a cat for an entire month with just a $5 donation. With the Raise the Woof! fundraiser, we hope to raise enough funds to feed thousands of additional pets in Colorado.

Tickets are on sale now for $125 (click here for tickets).

Here are the details:

  • August 26th, 5PM-10PM
  • X Denver Rooftop Club, 3100 Inca Street, Denver
  • Live Music from Slopeside
  • Hors D’oeuvres & Cocktails
  • Live and Silent Auctions 

I would be honored if you would accompany me, and also share this event with others – we are hoping to FILL the rooftop, and raise much needed funds so that we can help as many pets in the future as possible.

Thank you.

Virtual Relay for Rescue

Relay for Rescue is a virtual Scavenger Hunt taking place on July 11th at 2PM and we are SO EXCITED! This is a huge fundraiser for all 15 Animal Welfare Organizations participating, and we are in it to win it! Not only is R4R a fundraiser, it’s also a total blast and a great way to safely leave your house and enjoy some outdoor fun.

Are you ready?! R4R will be a bit different this year because of the virtual setting, but we guarantee it will be just as fun. No longer tied to the streets of Denver, you can join from ANY city (or any state). You can participate in large or small groups, based on what you’re comfortable with, and we will play all-together virtually via the GooseChase app on our smart phones or devices.

We also need area captains to help us organize small groups that want to do the event together. Please email us if you’re interested.

Registration is open! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/relay-for-rescue-2020-denver-tickets-91157230731
