Community Support Needed for Chance to Win $100,000 Grand Prize and Save More Lives
Green Bay, WI – The Bay Area Humane Society has been selected to compete in the 2012 ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge. Round two, which runs April 5-16, is judged on community involvement.
The 2012 ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge is a nationwide competition for animal shelters (and their communities) aimed at getting more animals adopted or returned to their owners than ever before. This phase is the Qualifying Heat where registered shelters compete to accumulate the most online votes from their supporters. The 50 shelters with the most votes become the official contestants for the 2012 ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge.
“The ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge is a great motivator for our team and the residents and businesses of Green Bay to get involved – to help connect hundreds of the beautiful, fun, loving cats and dogs in our shelter with the right families,” said Karen Kraus, Director of Development at the Bay Area Humane Society. “Working together, we will save hundreds of animals and enrich the lives of new adopting families, and we’ll have a shot at the $100,000 grant which would fund the much needed clinic expansion.” Kraus adds, “But first we need enough votes from our supporters and volunteers, to qualify to compete in the $100K Challenge itself.”
Supporters of the Humane Society can help by voting online at www.votetosavelives.org. Voting is free and takes place from April 5-16, 2012.
