FDL Humane Society Looking For Your Help To Earn $100,000 Grant
If you’ve adopted a pet from the Fond du Lac Humane Society, your story could be a winner. You can now tell your story of how your life has been brightened by your new furry friend AND give the FDL Humane Society an opportunity to earn a $100,000 grant. That exciting news was shared by Penny Kottke, President of the Humane Society, who said “We’re calling on all Fond du Lac Humane Society adopters to help us earn a lifesaving grant award this holiday season from the Petco Foundation by sharing their stories. Thank you for choosing adoption; now you can make our holiday wishes come true by helping us earn lifesaving funds to bring more pets in need together with loving families.”
Through September 23, adopters can submit their story at https://www.petcofoundation.org/holiday-wishes/ . Stories should highlight how pets have changed their adopter’s life for the better, in big and small ways, and should celebrate the love of their adopted pet. Submissions must include four photos to illustrate the story and can include video as well. Adopters must contact Fond du Lac Humane Society or the organization’s point of contact, email and phone number to include in their submission.
Adopters are also encouraged to visit the Holiday Wishes homepage for more information and to read stories from previous winners. The deadline to submit a Holiday Wishes story is September 23, 2020, noon CST. Winners will be announced during the holiday season.
