Fundraiser for Veterinary Emergency Funding Mission's 501(C)(3) Application

As you know, I am the official mascot for the Veterinary Emergency Funding Mission, or VEFM. It is terribly important to me that my animal friends are able to get emergency care when they need it, and not all their owners can afford it. That is why I want so much for VEFM to succeed. It will be hard for them to succeed unless they can get 501(C)(3) status as a non-profit corporation, but they do not have the $300 they need in order to apply. In order to help, they set up a donation page at a need web site called Fundable.com, where donors can pledge $10 or more toward this fundraising drive. Here is the link: http://vefm.blogspot.com/2009/03/fundraiser-to-get-300-needed-for-501c3.html

Please tell all your friends.
