---- Thanks to Animal Talk Naturally for supporting
EFA! ----
Please join us in giving back to this blog radio show that helps support animal
charities:
Forum Thread; http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5954541
The online radio show, Animal Talk Naturally http://www.animaltalknaturally.com is
raising funds for two special charities that help both animals and children,
and for an upcoming documentary film on animals. Animal Talk Naturally celebrates
the art of natural animal health, the truth of animal nature and the love of
the human/animal bond from a Christian faith-based focus.
On December 17, 2008, beginning at 2:30 PM Eastern, Animal Talk Naturally will
host a two-hour Season of Giving show through their regular platform on Blog
Talk Radio. You can join in at: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/animaltalknaturally to
help raise funds for the Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch http://www.crystalpeaksyouthranch.org/ ,
which helps rescue horses and kids, and for Paws and Think http://www.pawsandthink.org,
which puts together "at-risk" shelter dogs with "at-risk" youth.
They will also be raising money for an upcoming documentary film about the
eternal lives of animals at Animals in Paradise (http://www.animalsinparadise.com).
The hosts of the show, Dr. Kim Bloomer & Dr. Jeannie Thomason, are asking
businesses to get involved and support these very special charities that rely
solely on donations to do their work. They say "We're hoping that businesses
will step up and provide giveaways to anyone in our listening audience who
donates $50 or more to at least one of the charities or the documentary films
during the live two-hour show. Each business who participates will have their
name and website mentioned on the show and an entire year of advertising on
our Season of Giving page that will remain until next year's show! The businesses
can also donate directly to the charities or the documentary along with the
live listening audience. The more the better! And the good news is that both
charities are 501C3 non-profit, so your donations are tax deductible.The documentary
film is not a non-profit, but whoever donates will have their name listed in
the credits and possibly your own piece of video with your pet will be included
in the film."
To find out more and how you can get involved go to http://www.animaltalknaturally.com/a-season-of-giving/
