| Dear John, Best wishes to you for a Happy New Year! Whether you are planning for 2022 or you’ve procrastinated in making charitable donations for 2021, I can relate! New Year’s Eve certainly invites thinking about the year to come, but in a more practical way, also presents the last chance for a tax-deductible charitable gift! Both planners and procrastinators have something in common tonight: the importance of committing to something that matters. Do animals in labs matter to you? If so, now is the time to take an important step to ensure that they have effective, legal advocacy in 2022 by donating to AAVS. And remember that your gift to AAVS received before midnight is tax-deductible for 2021. Thank you for helping make the world a better place for animals and for being a part of the AAVS community of caring people who stand up for their protection. Speaking for Rosie and me and all of us at AAVS, I wish you a healthy and happy New Year! Sincerely,  |
