You may be asking what I’m talking about?
I’m talking about the 2017 Annual Pet Calendar Contest fundraiser for Cascades Humane Society.
This past weekend, I spent 3 days photographing 93 sessions of animals for our contest. Each pet signed up paid a $10 per pet session fee, which was 100% donated to CHS. They then came in and were photographed for entry into the contest. This was only half of the fun part.
Next up is the voting process. Starting Friday March 3rd at 12pm and goes through Monday March 13th at 12pm, the BIG fun begins. Each Pet then challenges and helps raise funds for CHS by asking for a $1.00 per vote donation. So if you donate $20, the pet you vote for gets 20 votes.
This is such an amazing fundraiser for CHS and I can’t wait to see what this year brings. The top 12 vote getters will earn a coveted spot in the 2018 Calendar, and the winner gets the cover and month of choice. The 2017 Calendars are still available at CHS and you can purchase one for $10.
In the last 3 years of doing voting online we have raised about $50,000 for CHS. What can we do this year? Our biggest year was 2 years ago and we raised over $20,000!!!! I’d love to beat that this year.
Watch the Cascades Humane Societies Facebook Page and Our Facebook page for the link and info to go up on Friday to vote.
Even though most pets get a beautiful portrait of themselves during the contest, I am always drawn to the “out takes” or “bloopers” as I call them. It’s so funny to see some of the images I caught at those moments of jumping, licking, blinking or just laying down. Below are some of my favorites from the weekend! Did your pet make the blooper reel? Let me know!
Good luck to all the Pets who entered this year and let's help raise some $$ for CHS!
