Spread the Word on Facebook

Speaking of Facebook, Tripawds now has a Tripawds Facebook Cause Page, in addition to our Tripawds Fan Page. Take a look, and then urge your friends and family to join! It costs nothing but it can help the campaign by building awareness of this community and our mission.

This Week’s Campaign Challenges

There’s been some generous campaign ideas and challenges coming in, such as

• VavraItaly.com gift certificates for Tripawds supporters
• The Tasha Challenge, a creative way to incrementally send smaller gifts
• Premium handwoven wool mittens to contributors of $100 or more (all taken as of today, thank you!)

We’re Getting There

We are now at 15 percent of our goal. At this rate, we’ll be able to end the campaign a lot sooner than we ever imagined. The generosity of this community is incredible, thank you for all of your kind words, support and participation in the campaign and in the Tripawds community.

Everyone, you make Tripawds such a special place to be, thank you so much.
