direct link to donate

hi everyone! This is Claudine with a quick post!

Bernie is running around like crazy today with dogs at the vet. I wanted to post this direct link to donate. We have gotten some emails that the donation badge is not showing up. If you don't see the badge, please CLICK HERE TO DONATE VIA DIRECT LINK!!!!

thank you everyone SO MUCH!! this is a nail biter!!!! Only 23 hours to go!!!!

EDIT 6:30pm: just another quick update to answer a question.

someone asked:

"I'm confused, the Parade website for the challenge says the top eight charities will win $50,000 each."

yes it is confusing! We read further into the fine print and it says the top 4 USA and then the top 4 International badges (for a total of 8) since A Place to Bark is in the USA category we will need to be in the top 4. Believe me! we wish it was the top 8! then we would be able to sleep tonight :)

Claudine - you are fabulous! I put another shout out on my groups this morning - and have received replies that people have gone and donated - so that means it is STILL working - and we are STILL reaching people who hadn't donated yet. It is never too late. I agree about the nails - this is REALLY INTENSE!!! We all need to go the extra mile right now!!

Oh gee, I didn't even think of including you in my last post about my rescue post . . . but I can do it now, and I can give again. Almost there!

...or you can just give them the link to the badge in an email.

http://www.networkforgood.org/pca/Badge.aspx?badgeId=109357

Also, you can go to Network For Good and buy a Good Card (which pays for donations up front) and send them to people you know will use them to donate via the badge.

http://www.networkforgood.org/goodcard/

They can donate under their own name, thus making the donation by a new individual donor.

Hope that helps too! :)

Oh, man! I'm a nervous wreck! And we've never met! Still, I think you provide such a worthwhile service that I am totally caught up. I have posted on my personal blog, my family blog, my ZNE Network blog, my Indie Public blog and the ATC group on eBay. I've sent out emails to my friends and family and for a minute tonight I was tempted to go out into the street and flag down passing motorists!

If I'm this anxious I can't imagine how you feel!
