Dear PAWS friends,
 
Starting at midnight on May 3rd, the Performing Animal Welfare Society will be participating in the Sacramento, California, region's third annual BIG Day of Giving. This 24-hour giving challenge is part of Give Local America, a national day of giving that celebrates philanthropy in communities across the country. Last year more than $68 million was raised in 24 hours for the 9,000 nonprofits that participated nationwide.

Our goal on May 3rd is to
raise $25,000 in 24 hours
to purchase customizable stock trailer
for moving animals.

PAWS is excited to participate in the BIG Day of Giving for the first time this year. Our goal on May 3rd is to raise $25,000 in 24 hours for the purchase of a large, customizable stock trailer for use in rescue operations, moving animals within and between our three sanctuaries, and for transporting animals in need of highly specialized care to the U.C. Davis veterinary hospital. Our current trailer is old and in need of replacement. With your support we hope to meet this goal on May 3rd.

In addition, PAWS will have the chance to win monetary prizes during this 24 hour event. Watch for upcoming BIG Day of Giving Prize Challenge information to be posted between now and May 3rd on our Facebook page, on Twitter, and in our April newsletter at the end of this month.
