Fundraising

Deciding what's for dinner tonight doesn't have to be a chore anymore.  Golden Retrievers In Need has finished its FIRST cookbook. The cookbook is full of recipes for you and a complete section of recipes for you to prepare for your pets too! 

Order Your G.R.I.N. Merchandise!

The above is just a small sampling of the new G.R.I.N. items available for purchase.  For a complete selection and to order any of these items and much more, please Click Here.

GoodSearch.com is a new search engine, powered by Yahoo! that donates half its revenue, about a penny per search, to charities its users designate.  Since it's powered by Yahoo!, you'll continue to get quality results.  It is easy to do; just go to www.goodsearch.com and be sure to enter Golden Retrievers In Need in the box marked "I'm supporting", then search the internet using the link above.  If you would like, just click on amount raised to see how the pennies are adding up.  If 500 of us search four times a day, we will raise about $7300 in one year!  And be sure to spread the word by passing the information along to your friends and family.

The Acme Community Cash Back program has ended.  Thanks to all who participated and we will advise when the next program begins.

Thank you to everyone that participated in the Acme Community Cash Back receipts fundraiser.  The fundraiser ran from September 29, 2007 through February 16, 2008.  Thanks to your efforts, G.R.I.N. received a check for $209.52 to help our goldens.  That is $30.00 more than the year before.  We will let you know when the program starts again and lets keep striving to increase our amount each year.  A very special thank you to Betsy B. and her Mom, Elinor M., for organizing, collecting, counting and submitting our receipts!  Thank you!

How it works:
Shop at Acme Fresh Market and save your register receipt tapes (they must say "Acme Community Cashback" on the bottom of the receipt) and mail them to:

G.R.I.N.
Acme Receipts Program
P.O. Box 24365
Cleveland OH 44124

By sending your receipts, G.R.I.N. can receive 5 percent back on the amount of the purchases made on Acme store-brand products.  Some of the name products are Acme Fresh Market, Food Club, Top Crest, Top Care, Dining In, Domestix, Paws, ValuTime, World Classics and Full Circle.

Don't forget to ask your family, friends, co-workers and neighbors to shop at Acme and save their tapes, too!

Now lets start collecting!

To all our Tops Receipt Savers, we give our thanks for diligently saving and sending in your receipts.  Unfortunately Tops has discontinued the program and it is no longer necessary to send us your receipts.

GRIN receives a commission from every sale generated from the links on our website.  Take a look at all the new stores we've added to our Affiliate Program.

We have started another fundraising program - one of the easiest and fastest ways to raise funds for our goldens. With this program, deactivated digital cell phones are sent to the recycling facility and they pay us cash for each phone we send to them. Just bring your old cell phone to one of our meetings or fundraising events, or mail to GRIN, P.O. Box 24365, Cleveland, OH 44124.

We have started a laser and inkjet cartridge recycling program.  Any fax or printer cartridge with a printhead can be recycled, regardless of brand or type (HP, Lexmark, Xerox, Compaq, Sharp, Panasonic, Canon or Apple).  Epson inkjet cartridges are not accepted as they have no printhead.

If placing a cardboard recycling container in your office is not feasible, consider saving your cartridges from the office or home and bringing them to a GRIN monthly meeting.  Or, you may call the GRIN voicemail to arrange pick up of your cartridges.  Thanks for your support!
