Subject: Save lives by donating to #CATBigGiveDay!

Dear _______,

Join me in lifesaving on Wednesday, July 10 by making a special gift to help raise $25,000 for cats and people who count on Cat Adoption Team.

During Big Give Day, the focus is on funding for programs and services that provide care to cats and kittens and support people in caring for their pets. I hope you will join cat lovers like me by making a gift and helping us reach our goal. Here’s how you can help:

  1. Make a gift for Big Give Day at catadoptionteam.org/BigGiveDay. (To unlock your Give BIGGER Bonus, get your gift in early! Two cat-lovin’ friends are pooling their gifts to match the first $10,000 in Big Give donations.)
  2. Become a social media influencer for Big Give Day by sharing about the campaign using the hashtag #CATBigGiveDay.
  3. Follow Cat Adoption Team on Facebook and LinkedIn and find @catadoptpdx on Instagram to get Big Give Day updates.
