Create your own CPR Fundraiser or Donation Drive
Fundraiser for CPRWays YOU can raise funds - your imagination is the limit when it comes to helping our homeless animals.
From lemonade stands to tributes and memorials, you can host a fundraiser for Chicago Pet Rescue. Your fundraisers not only raise awareness but also much needed funds for our homeless animals. With these funds we can continue to provide medical care and supplies without hesitation. Ready, Set, START by choosing something from the list below! Here are some event ideas: *In Honor of...: This way you can honor a person or celebrate an important event or milestone like a birthday, graduations or bar/bat mitzvah. Many animal-lovers opt for donations in lieu of gifts and use their CPR fundraising to tell people about what they are doing and collect donations. *Front & Center Donation: Get permission to set up a table in front of your grocery or local store to collect donations. This is a very effective way to raise both funds and awareness. *Lemonade or Beer Stand: Get your kids or neighbors involved and have them feel like they are joining you as you make a difference. You can set this up anytime or during a block party! *A Favor: In lieu of giving a favor at a wedding, birthday party or similar event, let guests know you’ve made a donation to CPR in their name. Work with your hands: Offer your services by babysitting, shoveling snow, mowing grass, running errands, etc., in exchange for donations. *Pet Birthday Party: Have a fun birthday party for your pet or a friend’s pet. Give dog biscuits as party favors! Ask for a donation at the door. Take photos of your guests with the guest of honor. |
