A Fundraiser Benefitting Our Four Legged Friends

Columbus Dog Connection is launching a new and fun fundraiser – a friendly competition against the Humane Society of Monroe County, MI, to be known as our Xichigan Rival.

While the Ohio State and Michigan football teams will take their rivalry to the field, we will take ours to the bank. Help us go head-to-head against our Xichigan Rival in a battle of donations!

Although we win bragging rights if we bring in the most money, the real winners will be the estimated 2,000 plus dogs and cats we serve every year in our programs. Every dollar you give will support our mission of rescuing, fostering & re-homing, spaying/neutering, TNR, and providing veterinary care to animals in our care and in the community.

The Rescue Rivalry competition begins at 9 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 30, and ends Nov. 29, after the Buckeyes have (we expect) flattened the Wolverines.

Until the final touchdown, we will have a series of mini-challenges and events to keep you entertained and donating. They will be posted on our social media platforms and website, so stay tuned!

The team that raises the most money gets bragging rights and gets to choose a friendly punishment for the losing organization. We are in negotiation with our opponent and will announce some of the doozies we have come up with and perhaps let our supporters vote.

We will update the running tally of donations for both teams on Facebook around 5 p.m. Fridays.

If you would like to send us your ideas for challenges, events, and punishments, or if you would like to participate in leading a mini-challenge, please email Mirna at Mirnabowman.cdc@gmail.com.
