| Fundraising Groom-A-Thon 2008 On Sunday, September 21st and Monday, September 22nd, 2008 all funds raised from grooming will be donated to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. |
ABOUT THE FUND:
The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund uses 100% of all donated funds to help support
the heroic men and women, and their families, who have made the ultimate sacrifice
for our nation.
The foundation builds hospitals and rehabilitation centers for catastrophically
injured veterans who have been wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. Their sister
organization builds Fisher Houses - homes where the families of these men and
women can stay while treatment is being provided to their family member. The
foundation does all of this using private donations and NO government funding.
Currently they are trying to raise funds for a new hospital -
The National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE). It will be located in Bethesda,
Maryland and will be adjacent to Walter Reed Medical Center. NICoe will be the
most state of the art facility for the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation for
veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other
complex psychological health issues.
ABOUT THE FUND RAISER:
I heard about the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund as I was driving home from North
Conway late at night on the Jerry Doyle Radio Show. I knew that I had to do
something, but was financially not able to just write a check. I thought about what
I could do to make a difference using the skills I had. My hope is to raise at least
$500 for the Fallen Heroes Fund over two days.
This fund raiser has been approved by the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund board of
Trustees.
WHAT?: I will donate my skill, time and equipment. All you have to do is schedule
a grooming appointment for your dog. You can schedule a full grooming, a bath
and blow dry, a brush out or even just a nail clipping!
WHEN?: September 21st and 22nd, 2008 - Appointments starting daily at 8:30 am
WHERE?: At Little Brown Dogs Grooming and Day Spa, located in Brownfield,
Maine at 154 Shepherds River Road. Directions are available through this site.
WHY?: Show your patriotism and support of brave men and women who have
given everything so that we can live in the greatest country on earth! You get to
support a great cause and take home a squeaky clean dog! All the funds will go to
the Intrepid Foundation for these brave men and women. Not only are you getting
a valuable service, but your money is going to support our Nation's greatest
heroes.
HOW?: As I am the sole proprietor and sole groomer at my business, I must
stress the importance of booking an appointment for this event.
