Jordan's Way fund raising event for the Humane Society of Elmore County
This past Saturday was a first for us and simply amazing. Kris and Mary Lynne of Jordan's Way arrived about 8:30 and our Live Facebook fun started around 10:30. With the help of our intrepid staff & Volunteers and ALL who so generously donated, this event has brought in OVER $20,000 for our Shelter! Special thanks to Tricia and to Tiers of Sweetness, LLC for providing food and luscious sweets for our participants. Another shout out to Manera at Best Pawn for getting us going with a Business Match donation to raise even more money. All of this was simply awesome and amazing to us, and we are humbled by the support and generosity of the almost 200 donors who helped make this such a success.
If you were not able to watch, you can see the entire event here: https://www.facebook.com/100064789418016/videos/1139974291254488 . This is three hours of fun and hijinks. Watching the challenges our teams worked so hard at to raise the bulk of the money as just tons of fun. Want to see our Director get ‘pied’ by both teams or hosed down after – take a watch. Want to see some of our staff get ‘slimed’ or our volunteers do all they can to NOT have to eat a bug or spider or hot tamale jellybean or get their head shaved – all that fun is now captured forever and it was well worth it.
For all who donated please know that EVERY donation, small and large, got us to that amazing total and we appreciate each and every single donation. Thank you as well to all who shared the event and donation link which got us such huge participation. For those who may have been busy, or couldn't donate today, the link is still alive for another week @ https://www.facebook.com/donate/629863336592182/ . If you don't want to donate at this link, we can also receive donations via our Shelter website, https://www.elmorehumane.org/monetary-donations.html via our PayPal or Zeffy. And, of course checks & cash are good too or you could call us (334-567-3377) to do a donation over the phone. Please just let us know to add any of these donations to the Jordan's Way event.
Will we do this again? Heck yes, and we resoundingly accepted their invite to be on the ‘tour’ again next year where we will make it even bigger and better for the sake of our animals!
From the bottom of our hearts - THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
