I’ve received a few emails asking about the annual Cause for Paws animal charity fundraiser that I normally run around this time. It is indeed fast coming up on the day the charity walk is going to be held, but this year due to my illness and frequent hospital visits, I am not able to participate in the walk and have not had the wherewithall to organize auctions, drawings, and giveaways as I have in previous years. I also am unable to promise a Thank You Spank Me video at this time.
It really breaks my heart and I’ve been plagued with quite a bit of guilt as the charity has come to expect a donation boost from all of our efforts at this annual event. I even received a voicemail from the organizer to wish me good luck in my fundraising and to say they looked forward to seeing me at the walk. G-U-I-L-T!!!! I keep procrastinating in having to return the call to say that I didn’t think I could help this year.
With the encouragement from an email penpal / blog reader / animal loving donator, I am posting to provide the opportunity for anyone that wishes to contribute to the Cause simply because they wish to help out and save some furry lives even without the usual spanking fanfare.
Although I am unable to safely do the video at this point, I am certainly open to ideas for something else I might offer in return. Send donators a handwritten thank you letter? Hold a drawing with all contributors as entrants and send the winners items — an outfit of mine? a print of one of my vanilla nature photos? a print of one my not so vanilla nature photos? LOL! Let me know.
Although the charity walk is coming up soon, there is no reason why the Cause for Paws deadline need be the same since I am not participating in the walk anyway. I will simply let the organization know it will be a separate donation at a slightly later date.
Donations do need to be sent by snail mail only this year. Check, cash, or money orders are all acceptable. Checks and money orders must be made out directly to the charity CSA. Please send them to my mailing address:
