Looking for creative ways to raise awareness, funds, and excitement? Wagaroo.com, a pet website dedicated to connecting people with puppies and dogs, seems to have found it. They announced today that San Francisco SPCA and Copper’s Dream Animal Rescue were the winners of the inaugural “Vote to Give Wags and Dollars: Bay Area Animal Groups Contest.” A special way to bring together donors, dollars, and dogs.
The contest, hosted on Wagaroo.com asked voters actively encouraged people to vote for an organization and then donate to them. As a result many organizations got both votes and dollars. Our very own, San Francisco SPCA received the most votes and won the top prize of $4,000! Copper’s Dream Animal Rescue came in second, winning $1,000, thanks to the vote of a randomly selected voters during the contest.
Christine Exley, Chief of Research and Co-founder of Wagaroo explains the theory behind ‘Vote to Give Wags and Dollars’. “With around 50% of individuals who voted in this contest proceeding to the donation page of the group they voted for, we are excited and hope all of these deserving groups received many new donations!”
Jennifer Wang, Founder of Copper’s Dream Rescue, was thrilled, “We’re so grateful for this community support! The funds will definitely be a big help in reaching our 2015 goals of rescuing a record number of dogs!
Congratulations to SFSPCA, and all the other participants and winners.
