MCHA vs. Almost Home Humane Society Fundraising ChallengeThis year, we have challenged our friends at Almost Home Humane Society in Lafayette, Indiana (home of the Boilermakers) to a Fundraising challenge!
MCHA will be in a race to raise more donations for the spay/neuter assistance fund than fans in Lafayette, Indiana. The official challenge tip off was Thursday, February 5 at 9am, with the contest coming to a close on Thursday, February 19th at the IU vs. Purdue basketball game.
Please, help show your Hoosier spirit and show that Bloomington knows how to rally behind their cause with MCHA! Donations of any amount can be made online or over the phone (812-333-6242) but must be made with an emphatic "GO HOOSIERS!" What you can do:
- Donate! (any amount is welcomed)
- Share this email
- Share on Facebook & Twitter
- Start an office contest (in MCHA offices, if you say " P U R D U E " you have to put a quarter in the bucket)
Thank you for your support, and most importantly, GO HOOSIERS!
