Charitable-minded individuals are empowered to make an impact in their community on Giving Day, a 24-hour online event, taking place on March 9, 2017. This day of giving makes it easy for everyone to support local charities that provide vital community services, such as Danbury Animal Welfare Society (DAWS).
Founded in 1974, DAWS is Western Connecticut’s leader in placing homeless animals in their forever homes and promoting responsible pet guardianship.
A no-kill shelter that saves the lives of animals in need and provides community education and low-cost spay/neuter programs, we are a volunteer-driven nonprofit organization that relies on the generosity of donors for our life-saving work.92% of our budget directly supports our programs and animal care, a figure that places us among the highest tier of public charities nationwide.
We are excited to once again be a part of Fairfield County’s Community Foundation’s Giving Day, where bonus awards for participation mean that for as a little as $10, you can help DAWS reach our goal of raising $15,000 for our life-saving work.
Please join us on March 9. Log on to FCGives.org to learn more about this special opportunity, and look for updates on our Facebook page (Facebook.com/DAWSpets) and website (DAWS.org).
I thank you in advance for your kindness and life-saving generosity.
John Piper
President, Board of Directors
Danbury Animal Welfare Society
