AMERICAN GREYHOUND-GREAT LAKES INC

4th Annual Polar bear Plunge "Freezin' for a Reason" Chicago,  Illinois

Karen and Becka are Freezing for a Reason!

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page!

Over 15 years ago we adopted our first greyhound, Harry, for Bill for Father's Day. Little did we know at that time how this would change our lives. We jumped in with both feet and started working with the rescue organization. We fostered many greyt pups and have had 7 of our own. I am still owned by 3 greyt hounds, Trueman, Cesear and Harry #2, AKA Big Harry! Along the way Becka and Bob adopted Diesel (RIP) and Karma.I recently lost my 14 year old Maggie Mae.

These wonderful hounds have brought so many years of companionship and unconditional love, I don't know how I ever lived without them!

Bill was totally devoted to their cause and we work with amazing people who continue to give unselfishly to rescue dogs from the track and find loving homes for them. There are many costs that go along with these efforts. We continually fundraise to help cover vet costs, transporting costs, etc.

Becka and I are again "Freezing for a Reason" this January 1st. Please consider a donation to make our jump into the frigid Lake Michigan waters worthwhile! There are hundreds of reasons we need your help....just take a look at our website at all the wonderul pups we've placed. http://www.americangreyhound.org

Your donations will help us to keep Bill's passion alive and will save many loving greyhounds!

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
