We have an exciting new fundraising activity for our youngest supporters!

The Pawsitivity Challenge is an activity-based fundraiser for kids, that gives them a chance to raise money for EHS, while learning valuable lessons about how to care for animals.

The Challenge is simple: kids gather donations from sponsors for completing activities or tasks related to caring for pets. This can be walking a dog, changing kitty litter, or feeding their pet. 

The Challenge will run from June 15 - 28, there is no deadline to sign up. Simply choose 7 days within that timeframe to complete your challenge. The person who fundraises the most will win a $100 VISA gift card! (Winner will be announced Monday June 29, 2020).

Sign up NOW and start reaching out to your family and friends to sponsor your challenge!
