** TEAM PAWS: Make Your Miles Matter
------------------------------------------------------------
TEAM PAWS Chicago has just launched the 2020 fundraising season, which means we are celebrating a special anniversary—15 years of running for animals’ lives!
Peak past the curtain ([link removed]) with the mastermind behind TEAM PAWS Chicago, Carrie Cihasky, to see how a group of dedicated fundraisers keeps our operation running smoothly. In this interview, we discuss TEAM PAWS, a charity in conjunction with athletic events, the perks of joining, and how to get involved. You’ll also learn how to get a free massage! (Hint: you may have to run a marathon.)

Join PAWS Chicago and the Chicago Blackhawks in saving pets at Chicago Blackhawks Pet Lover's Night, December 2.
PAWS will be at the game with animals and information about how you can help end pet homelessness, because Blackhawks fans love pets almost as much as they love their 'hawks.
With the purchase of a ticket through this offer you'll get a great seat and an exclusive Blackhawks pet collar ([link removed]) . A portion from every ticket sold will be donated to PAWS Chicago!

** NEW way to buy or sell a home—and it helps PAWS Chicago
------------------------------------------------------------
Investing In Communities (IIC) is a unique fundraising platform that empowers real estate consumers to turn ordinary real estate transactions into significant funding for their favorite charity, at no cost to themselves.
When you contact IIC before buying or selling a home, you can work with virtually any broker and direct funding to any charity. A $300,000 home sale, for example, could generate around $1,300 for PAWS Chicago— at no cost to you. Companies can also use IIC in the same way when leasing commercial space.
