GALTx eNews:  Strut Your Mutt To Help the Mobile 30!  

GALT has strutted its stuff for the Best Friends' Strut Your Mutt event for seven years now! We are hoping you will help our team be stronger than ever this year so that we can raise the funds needed to complete the medical treatments for the "Mobile 30!" If you haven't heard already, the Mobile 30 refers to 30 retired racers who joined us in August because of the closing of the Mobile Greyhound Park. Once their medical treatments are complete, the next stop for them will be forever home!

You can help us reach our goal in a number of ways! If you live near Dallas, you can physically join us to literally strut at 10:30 am on Saturday, October 28th, 2017, starting at the Katy Trail Ice House, 3127 Routh Street, Dallas. We will walk the Katy Trail and then gather at the Katy Trail Ice House for snacks! Bring your greyhound(s) and come on out! Be sure to use WoofTrax or ResQWalk to give the hounds a bonus! But you don't have to physically be in Dallas to help! Wherever you are, you can join the fundraising team and even schedule a strut of your own! Click here and then click "Join Team" to get started! Best Friends offers some great tips on how to help raise funds for GALT to make it easy for you. Check them out here. If strutting isn't your thing, you can cheer us on virtually from the comfort of your couch by making a contribution on our fundraising page any time. Donations are tax deductible to the full extent provided by the tax code and all the money raised comes our way (after transaction fees) to help the hounds!

GALTx eNews:  North Texas Giving Day is Here!

North Texas Giving Day (NTGD) is practically here! It's next Thursday, September 14th, 2017, from 6:00 am to midnight! New this year, you can schedule your donations in advance on our NTGD page whenever it is convenient for you. 

We are especially excited about NTGD this year because an anonymous donor will match donations made at our NTGD page up to $15,000! This generous matching gift will help a lot of hounds and, combined with your generous donations, can cover our medical and boarding expenses for the Mobile 30!  

With our expenses averaging nearly $1,000 a day, NTGD is always an important part of GALT's annual fundraising. Last year, supporters like you donated over $8,000 to GALT, setting a new record. We are hopeful that you will help us break that record this year so that we can earn the entire $15,000 in matching funds!   We know that you have many giving choices this year, but hope you will continue to help retired greyhounds find forever homes, regardless of their medical needs, as you have in the past! Please, visit our NTGD Page now to schedule your donation! We can't do it without the continued generosity of our supporters like you! Thank you! Schedule Your Donation!
