PAWS for Charity 2006

I'm one of the four members of the PAWS for Charity team...created in 2006 to raise funds for various charities. The four of us own dog related businesses and contribute some or all of our proceeds from certain products to charity. For the first year (as well as 2007) we chose breast cancer research as our designated charity. This pic shows us making our first donation to The Canadian Cancer Society in December. Our 3 month project raised over $2200! Pictured here (from left to right) are: Kelly Gaon, Canadian Cancer Society Fundraising Coordinator, me (with my eyes closed!), Char Harding (aroundthehounds.com), Julie Kelly (chillydogs.ca) and Suzanne Bird (photobysuebird.com).
This is such a dynamic group of women...a real powerhouse that I'm so happy to be involved with. We'll be launching our 2007 campaign soon. Details about our Crunch for a Cure biscuits can be found at this link
