Gulfport Humane Society: Pennies For Pets
Introduction

Every fall the Gulfport Humane Society holds a community-wide fundraiser to help suppmi their needs for the growing numbers of cats and dogs housed at the shelters. The campaign ("Pennies for Pets") creates awareness of the Society's mission and passion for our funy friends. The Society depends on the annual fund raiser to maintain the shelters, provide food and medical care for the orphaned cats and dogs in our community. The Society relies on local businesses, individuals, and students to solicit donations and promote the annual campaign. This year's fund raiser was a huge success. Pennies for Pets created a strong liaison between the shelters and the community. This report provides an overview of the patiicipation received

The event was successful, however I feel the Society can increase student patiicipation significantly. I believe tangible prize in conjunction with the gold, silver, and platinum status awards will increase student pmiicipation. For example students reaching platinum status receives at-shirt; students reaching gold status receives a key chain; and students reaching silver status receives a logo pen or pencil. The Society can use sponsorship funds to purchase the prizes. I believe the prize expense is insignificant compared to the additional student participation resulting in our ultimate goal to increase donations to support our funy friends in our

    This charity saves lives by showing their patients, either dog or human, that they are still loved no matter how lonely. Nonprofit charities are groups of devoted people and generous donators working together for the same cause. The Freedom Service Dogs of America is a foundation full of great people willing to donate their time for an amazing charitable body. Founded in 1987 by Michael and PJ Roche, the brothers strive for redemption of abandoned dogs and help for disabled people.

    Soonerthon is a year-long fundraising event ending with a twelve-hour dance marathon in the spring. All the proceeds raised benefits The Children’s Hospital in Oklahoma City through funding medical research and family support programs. The programming committee is in charge of planning every minute of the twelve-hour event dance marathon. Within the committee, my personal responsibility was to design and organize a children’s carnival at the main event for the “miracle kids” from the hospital. The joy that radiated from the children that passed through the carnival was contagious, not only to myself but also to the other 2,000 OU students that attended the Soonerthon event as well.…

    Case Study: East Minico

    East Minico would like a total $1,500 to provide incentives for students to come to school. East would like to reward grade levels for having good attendance, grades, and behavior. Our idea is that the grade level with the best attendance percentage would earn a point each week. After each trimester, students in the grade level with the most points will earn a reward party. The money ($500 per trimester) would go towards some sort of treat (E.g. ice cream, pizza, pop, etc.) and to buy rewards (such as gift cards or certificates) for students in drawing. Students would be added to the drawing based on their attendance that trimester.…

    A large part of the activities involved in this project consisted of convincing a community saturated with solicitation that our cause was worthy and they should donate. Since there was a lot of solicitation already in this area it was very difficult to pierce through the skepticism and suspicion of merchants. Our team found it hard to convince the area merchants to make a donation of goods or money. Every positive outcome was doubly appreciated because it was a success of our tactics and also brought us closer to our goal. We asked 38 merchants for donations and received 22 donations of money, food, or merchandise. Every yes we received caused enthusiasm to persevere and the momentum was used as a tool to convince others about the great cause.…

Statistics substantiate that the numbers of animals entering shelters in a year's time does not counterpart with the number of animals leaving the shelter in the same year’s time. For this reason, the ASPCA sets out to not only find, but also to resolve the conflict. The organization has…

    The event we would like to run is all inclusive board game night called: “The Bored Cafe” run on the 5 and 6 of October, which is a Thursday and Friday. We would invite the grade nines and tens on Thursday and elevens and twelves for the Friday. Furthermore, We'll decorate the cafeteria to be fall themed, pumpkins, fake leaves, orange tablecloths for example. The reason for the separation is to hopefully diminish the fear grade nines have of the senior students. We find that a lot of new students are intimidated by the older grades and avoid events where there will be a high concentration of senior students. Rather than have an admission coast we would like to ask students to bring an item to donate to the food bank, also all proceeds made from selling food and drinks would…
