Would you like to help my animal rescue group again? :)

I figured I’d try posting here again because all of you were so supportive with the last effort that, unfortunately, failed.

Some of you may remember this post. That contest was canceled because of the poor set-up and the extreme cheating of many organizations.

However, there is now another contest that is much more regulated, and cheating is a lot more difficult. This contest has been going on for a few weeks now, and nothing crazy has happened, so I am much more confident in this one and willing to ask you all for your efforts again.

Here goes:

I am a volunteer with Independent Animal Rescue in Durham, NC.

We are participating in a contest sponsored by Care2, which will be awarding a donation of $10,000 to America’s Favorite Animal Organization. Voting ends on November 1, and we are currently doing great, but we need to make sure that we have a substantial lead so that other groups don’t surpass us in the last few days! This $10,000 would really be put to great use by our organization, so please take a minute to help us out.

Just go here to vote: http://www.care2.com/animalsheltercontest/70100/?refer=25254.01.1223295602.1653

It’s quick, free, and as long as you uncheck the box, you won’t be signed up for any mailing list!

About Us:
Independent Animal Rescue is an all-volunteer organization in Durham, NC, that helps animals in need through a variety of service programs. We promote spay/neuter for all companion animals, provide foster homes for abused/unwanted animals until they are adopted, work with ferals in the area, and take steps to prevent overpopulation of unwanted animals (trap/neuter/return). IAR volunteers are truly improving the quality of life for hundreds of animals in the triangle area of NC. We regularly have bake sales, auctions, and other fundraisers, but our expenses still far exceed the money we bring in. All members of IAR are completely unpaid, so 100% of the $10,000 prize would go toward animal care (spay/neuter/medication/surgery).

Thanks so much! I really appreciate your help.
