Just an incentive... there will be prizes for the top three times at least. I'm working on getting more and going deeper into them at the moment. Contact me if you'd like to donate some prizes too! Thanks.

Donations

Hey everyone. I would just like to encourage you to donate to the Humane Society on race day. Your $10 does a lot, but judging by the 22,700 animals that the shelter handled in 2005, anything extra will be amazing!

The icing on the cake, for those who can afford it, is a $250 contribution to sponsor a kennel for one year. It provides food, blankets, and service to a kennel. You even get a little plastic paw with your name on it that attaches to it so everyone knows how generous you are!!!

Anyways, just a thought to get you started! Thanks so much!
