ARF has two major fundraisers during the year--ARF's Puttin' On The Leash in November and Doggie Dash Run/Walk Event in the spring or fall. In 2020, the pandemic caused us to cancel our November event, but Doggie Dash was a virtual run/walk which was new to us! Thanks to Arrowhead Veterinary and sponsors for hosting the event to benefit ARF as well as WCSPCA and Bark Park Buddies. Our usual Holiday Open House will not be held during 2020 due to COVID-19. ARF's dog park proceeds are used for maintenance of the dog park. Any remaining funds (if there ever were!) are applied to ARF's general operations' expenses.
We are very appreciative of any type of fundraiser anyone would like to do! Birthday parties, garage sales, car washes, dog washes...be creative! ARF truly appreciates any and all donations to help us help more animals in need. We love to see young people get involved and want to help! Bring your ideas - we'd love to hear them!
Many employers such as ConocoPhillips, Phillips 66 and Walmart will match their employee or retiree contributions. Please check with your employer to see if they will do a match! In addition, these employers contribute to non-profit organizations on behalf of their employee's volunteer hours. Please check with your employer! Form a team and check with ARF to see what projects you might be able to take on for volunteer hours!
ARF receives Business Reward checks from Staples which are based on a percentage of purchases whereby ARF's phone number is associated to the sale. It's simple! When you purchase anything at Staples, give the cashier ARF's phone number (918-766-0991) for the Business Reward Program. The reward checks are distributed to ARF quarterly and will be applied towards office supplies and copy expenses for ARF.
