Big Day of Giving Starts at Midnight!
The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue:
Starting midnight tonight, we are asking you to participate in another huge and historic event for our region, the BIG Day of Giving. This event starts at midnight and you have 24 hours to join us. Once this starts, All About Equine Animal Rescue, Inc. (AAE) will join with over 600 other nonprofits working to make our region #1 as the most generous community in the country on this national day of giving!
As many of you know, AAE strives to support and further our mission of rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming abused, neglected and/or abandoned horses and other animals, as well as those in the auction/slaughter pipeline.
This year, our goal is to engage at least 200 donors and raise $10,000 to help us FILL THE BARN to support our feed and care costs!
Your donation of any amount will help feed a horse or offset the cost of veterinary care, farrier care or dental care. $25 helps to provide feed to a horse for about two weeks , $50 helps provide feed for a horse for about a month, and $100 helps with provide feed and basic care to a horse for about a month.
