Sharyn Duval's Fundraising Page
Dear Friends,
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! Once again I am walking to support Animal Coalition of Tampa's 8th Annual Stride for Strays which will take place this year at Lowry Park on October 11th.
The reason I participate in this fundraiser is to suport the low cost spay and neuter services provided by Animal Coalition of Tampa. In their first 2 years of operation of the spay/neuter clinic they have sterilized over 10,000 pets. Their goal is to sterilize 10,000 more within the next year.
Why is this so very important to me? In 2007, more than 26,000 companion aminals were destroyed in Hillsborough County simply because they did not have a home. The proven way to reduce this tragedy is to keep them from going into the county shelter to begin with by providing low cost spay and neuter services to the community. Every community with high volume, low cost spay/neuter services have significantly dropped their euthanasia rates.
Since a lot of people cannot afford even ACT's low fees, many of their operations are subsidized by caring individuals like yourself. More generous sponsors are needed to continue to provide these services.
Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. If you prefer to make a check or cash donation, please contact me at sduval1@mindspring.com.
In 2007, $40,00 was raised at Stride for Strays. The goal for 2008 is $60,000. Can you help us reach this goal?
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
