Homeward Bound Seeks Matching Fund Sponsors For Our
6th Annual Double-The-Gold Challenge

ARE YOU UP FOR THE CHALLENGE?

As you may recall, it's nearly time for Homeward Bound's annual spring fundraiser, Double-the-Gold Challenge! But the challenge actually begins now, since February is the time when we build our “Fund of Love,” which provides the matching funds for Double-the-Gold. This popular fundraiser is a unique and essential source of funding for Homeward Bound. 100% of these funds are dedicated to veterinary care for deserving Goldens that desperately need our help. Double-the-Gold allows us to provide not only treatment for illness and spay and neuters, but enables us to pay for many necessary surgeries that offer dogs in our care the opportunity to find loving forever homes and live pain-free happy lives.

In 2007 Homeward Bound rescued a staggering 561 dogs resulting in veterinary expenses which exceeded $280,000 for the year. We provided many happy endings through a record number of total hip replacements, numerous crusciate ligament surgeries, eye surgeries, and several ear resections and ablations. Double-the-Gold plays a critical role in allowing us to continue offering the best veterinary care available to every dog that is counting on us. If we don’t help them who will? 

We need your help to continue this important work! Homeward Bound is inviting foundations, businesses, and individuals to participate in establishing our 2008 matching “Fund of Love.” Everyone loves a matching fundraiser! Supporters give generously when their funds are matched. By coming together and building a matching fund, we can inspire people all over the world to make a donation to help Goldens in need. 

Homeward Bound has established a stellar reputation for being one of the most compassionate and committed rescue organizations in the nation. We have a huge task before us in continuing to maintain the high standards and level of care that we have established. We are passionately dedicated to our mission and know that you will want to support our efforts by partnering with us in this noble cause. Anyone can participate by donating or pledging $250 or greater. As an additional incentive, we will be delighted to offer the business, individual, or foundation contributing the largest portion of our matching “Fund of Love” the opportunity to name the challenge drive.

If you would like to help build the matching “fund of love” or if you know of an individual, a business, or foundation that might join in, please contact Candy Courtney at double_gold@comcast.net, 916/933-7434, or Jody Jones, jjsgoldens@hughes.net, 916/655-1410.

I am thrilled for the opportunity to participate in establishing the 2008 Homeward Bound matching “Fund Of Love”. In doing so I will be insuring the success of our Double-The-Gold Challenge and making a huge difference in the lives of Goldens in need.
