Sept. 16th is the last day to contribute to help rapid response organization win Six Degrees contest.
Deadline Approaching! - Please Help KAT 5 Animal Rescue Win a $10,000 GrantBy Jennifer Hayes: Best Friends NetworkThere is less than a week to go and the competition is extremely close. As of this writing, KAT 5 Animal Rescue is in 4th place, but now is the time for a last minute push to guarantee that they are within the top six.
The contest is named for The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, a trivia game whose objective is to connect Kevin Bacon to any other actor, utilizing a maximum of six theatrical roles. The goal is to get people whom you are connected with to join in and support your cause. As Kevin Bacon said, “It's social networking with a social conscience.”
The winner is based on the largest number of individual donations that the charity receives, not the quantity. The minimum donation is $10, but your gift could be the one that makes KAT 5 a winner. The top six organizations each win a $10,000 grant from Hanes, in addition to the money they collected from the donations. That could go a long way toward helping to save animals.
Kat 5 Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, so any donation is tax deductible. The Dallas, TX based group rescues animals in emergency situations, both natural and man-made.
You may think it is only $10 – but that money could make a huge difference. Please donate today.
