Dear Friend,
Ever wonder how much money it would take to convince someone to shave their head? As the Executive Director of the Western Pennsylvania Humane Society I have learned the magic number is $10,000. In 2012, as a brand new staff member, I was motivated to prove my dedication to the shelter. This year, I've got a new motivation in the form of my newly adopted WPHS puppy, Astro.
In order to make an even greater impact on our animals this year, I've decided to increase my personal fundraising goal to $10,000. With just under a month left until the marathon, I’ve breached the 30% mark of my goal. At this point, I’m in desperate need of a haircut and the Humane Society could really use your support to continue providing care for our rabbits, cats and dogs. If I reach this goal, I will go bald (yes, completely bald) - and the top marathon fundraiser, with help from a WPHS staff member of their choice, will have the honor of shaving it off for me!
Fundraising from last year's marathon helped us buy new kennels and hire additional staff, expanding our offsite adoption efforts and allowing us to assist more animals than ever before. We are looking to save even more lives in 2013, so please donate what you can and help spread the word to your friends on Facebook or twitter!
To help me reach my goal, please donate here by May 4th, 2013.
Sincerely,
David Janusek
Executive Director
