SEVA GRREAT Yard Sale

Give Local 757-2021 was a Grreat success and we owe it all to you!!

On May 11, during the twenty-four hours of Give Local 757, YOU, our friends, members, family, volunteers, and social media followers donated $30,484.08. This was the most money raised for SEVA GRREAT in the 6 years we have participated in Give Local 757.

The number of nonprofits competing in Give Local increases every year. SEVA GRREAT was one of twenty-two organizations competing in the Animal category this year and we placed first in donations, a great achievement. We must also acknowledge two first time contributors to this successful effort:

• This year we received a very generous $5,000 donation from Tito’s Handmade Vodka, which we used as matching funds. The vision for their Vodka for Dog People program is to better the lives of pets and their families far and wide.

• For the first time during Give Local we participated in a live event hosted by the Big Ugly Brewery in Chesapeake. Our participation in this event resulted in our winning the Happy Hour prize of $757 awarded to the nonprofit with the most unique donors during 4:006:00 pm. Big Ugly also generously donated a percentage of their sales during this time.

Thank You! Thank You!

We also won a second prize of $757 for having 50 unique donors contribute $50.00 or more in the first hours of the twenty-fourhour event.

It is because of your support, generosity, and belief in our mission that we exist and are able to continue the work of saving homeless Goldens.

Our 2021 featured Goldens: Hero, Bucky, Maxi, Ladybug, Ruby, and many others will receive their much-needed medical care and preparation for adoption because of your donations. Please accept our most sincere thanks. We and our precious Goldens are grateful for what you do.
