the chick challenge

Chicks for Charity challenges each of its members to raise money for Assistance Dogs of America, Inc. (ADAI) this year. It doesn't have to be anything fancy.

Just invite family and friends together for a euchre party, snowman building contest or book reading – any reason to share a couple of hours and good times. Tell those attending about Chicks for Charity and ADAI, then ask for donations. It’s that simple. Keep in mind that attending and supporting Chick events throughout the year can also be counted towards the Chick Challenge. And hey, if you don’t feel like hosting or attending an event and just want to write a check on your own, that’s perfectly okay, too! But most of us prefer to keep the “fun” in fundraising.

In an effort to help reach this goal, we are encouraging all Chicks to host an event of their own with family, friends, co-workers, ect. Here are some suggestions/offers if you’re interested in having these types of events:

Premier Jewelry – Kelly Pieh is willing to donate 40% of retail sales of jewelry to ADAI. You can contact her at 419-878-6100 or kpieh@bex.net.

Tootsies – Host your own private shoe party and 10% of all sales go to ADAI. Contact Dawn Hackett at 419-724-7463 or dhackett50@hotmail.com.

The Docks Downtown – Girls night out

Jeans Friday – Suggest to your company a “Jeans Friday” where employees donate $2.00 on Fridays to wear jeans.

Or you could try: your own cooking class, a contest to lose the most weight, a cookout...it can be anything you want it to be and we encourage the unusual!

If you raise money at an event you have hosted, please mail your money/check (made out to Assistance Dogs of America, Inc.) to the following address:

Assistance Dogs of America, Inc.
Attn: Patty Gelb
8806 State Route 64
Swanton, OH  43558

Have an event, raise some money, give it all to Assistance Dogs of America…feel proud because you are a CHICK FOR CHARITY!

tell us about your events!

If you host an event or just have questions for us, please contact Chicks for Charity at ChicksForCharity@r-p.com. We would like to hear about your event and money raised so we can recognize your accomplishment and record it towards our goal.

At the end of the year, we'll total our accomplishments, pat ourselves on the back - and commit to finding another organization to help.
