Dear Friend,
Today is a crucial day for Chicago’s homeless pets: it marks the beginning of our annual You Give, They Live holiday campaign. The funds we raise in these next few short weeks don’t just support the animals in our care today—they make possible the lifesaving work we will do all year long.
This year, our PAWS Chicago family has done more to build a No Kill Chicago than ever before. Together, we are on pace to find loving homes for more than 5,000 cats and dogs, provide 21,000 free and low-cost spay/neuter surgeries, deliver 50,000 vaccinations to pets in need, and serve over 26,000 homeless and at-risk pets.
Each one of these numbers improves upon last year’s impact. More importantly, each represents a life saved, a family created, or suffering prevented. This is the power of community. This is the promise of our No Kill Chicago mission—and you are at the heart of it.
To emphasize the importance of your gift now, The Francisco Family Charitable Fund has generously offered a $20,000 You Give, They Live Challenge Match. From now through Sunday, November 23, every donation will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling your impact.
