Hello, We are a charitable organization that provides fundraisers for pet lovers and caregivers. We also provide fundraisers for pets to support caregivers. Recently a celebrity partner that supports many charities unfortunately lost his pet and we are looking to do a joint fundraiser to seek support for other pet lovers suffering from loss. Please let us know if you are interested in a Joint Fundraiser that will allow also us to donate funds to support your organization. This would be a collaborative effort. If you are interested, please reach out to me at 713-291-1567 or respond here on Indeed. Thank you! Asheva Phillips, CEO Vaughn Gage Center
